[00:03.17]Postcards From Richard Nixon
[00:08.51]Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John
[00:40.20]We heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the USA
[00:45.87]The common sense I sometimes lack
[00:48.90]Has opened up a seismic crack
[00:51.82]We ve fallen in and I can t pull back
[00:56.55]And I guess we ll have to stay
[01:04.15]In open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus
[01:09.76]Twin spirits soaking up a dream
[01:12.73]Fuel to feed the press machine
[01:15.76]After years that were long and lean
[01:20.74]We re finally on our way
[01:28.37]And Richard Nixon s on his knees he s sent so many overseas
[01:33.74]He d like to know if you and me could help him in some way
[01:39.59]A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do
[01:45.51]A small diversion caused by two, pale kids come to play
[01:54.43]And we heard Richard Nixon say "welcome to the USA"
[02:07.01]Neither of us understood the way things ticked in Hollywood
[02:12.48]We just loaded in and grabbed the bat
[02:15.02]With little room to swing a cat
[02:18.47]And pretty soon we were where it s at
[02:23.06]Or so the papers say
[02:30.47]And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we d never seen
[02:36.82]Our heroes led us by the hand
[02:39.22]Through Brian Wilson s promised land
[02:42.15]Where Disney s God and he commands
[02:46.51]Both mice and men to stay
[02:54.19]And Richard Nixon s on his knees he s sent so many overseas
[02:59.79]He d like to know if you and me could help him in some way
[03:05.70]A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do
[03:10.77]A small diversion caused by two, pale kids come to play
[03:19.85]And we heard Richard Nixon say "welcome to the USA"
[03:31.95]In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve McQueen
[03:36.64]I guess he s just about the coolest guy I ve ever seen
[03:42.65]And for you and me that speeding car is how it s going to be
[03:48.81]I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline
[03:55.72]Oh we heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the USA
[04:00.93]The common sense I sometimes lack
[04:03.96]Has opened up a seismic crack
[04:06.87]We ve fallen in and I can t pull back
[04:13.05]Pale kids come to play
[04:15.70]And we heard Richard Nixon say, I ve gotta go but you can stay
[04:24.22]Pale kids come to play
[04:27.15]And we heard Richard Nixon say, I ve gotta go but you can stay
