Postcards From Richard Nixon Lyrics - The Captain And The Kid - Elton John

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")
