John Cale - Chinese Envoy lyrics
[John Cale - Chinese Envoy lyrics]
She was a princess, lower than people thought
A master of nothing
A mistress of something she thought
She could talk about things
That never mattered ever
From one person's miserable
Life after another
Talk to the French and Germans at will
They never listen, they never will
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Calling out her name you'd be
Surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness
Just like furniture
To forgive all if it hadn't been for
Cardinal Richelieu and all his courtiers
But the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
In his broken hearted pagoda
A master of nothing
A mistress of something she thought
She could talk about things
That never mattered ever
From one person's miserable
Life after another
Talk to the French and Germans at will
They never listen, they never will
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Calling out her name you'd be
Surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness
Just like furniture
To forgive all if it hadn't been for
Cardinal Richelieu and all his courtiers
But the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
In his broken hearted pagoda
