Elton John - Postcards From Richard Nixon
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
[chorus:]
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
[repeat Chorus]
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
