Postcards From Richard Nixon歌词

作词 : John, Taupin
作曲 : Elton John & Bernie Taupin
We heard Richard Nixon say,
welcome to the USA

The common sense I sometimes lack

Has opened up a seismic crack

We've fallen in and I can't pull back

And I guess we'll have to stay

In open arms we put our trust
they put us on a big red bus
Twin spirits soaking up a dream

Fuel to feed the press machine

After years that were long and lean

We're finally on our way

And Richard Nixon's on his knees

he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if you and
me could help him in some way

A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do

A small diversion caused by two,

pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say

"welcome to the USA"

Neither of us understood the way
things ticked in Hollywood

We just loaded in and grabbed the bat

With little room to swing a cat

And pretty soon we were where it's at
Or so the papers say

And all around us suntanned teens,
beauty like we'd never seen

Our heroes led us by the hand
Through Brian Wilson's promised land

Where Disney's God and he commands

Both mice and men to stay

And Richard Nixon's on his knees

he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if you and
me could help him in some way

A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do

A small diversion caused by two,

pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say

"welcome to the USA"

In a bright red Porsche on Sunset

I saw Steve McQueen

I guess he's just about the coolest

guy I've ever seen

And for you and me that speeding
car is how it's going to be

I see no brakes just open road
and lots of gasoline

Oh we heard Richard Nixon say,

welcome to the USA

The common sense I sometimes lack
Has opened up a seismic crack

We've fallen in and I can't pull back

Pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say,

I've gotta go but you can stay

Pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say,

I've gotta go but you can stay
