Chinese Envoy — текст песни (John Cale)

She was a princess, much 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 persons miserable life after another

She could talk to the french and germans at will

Theyd never listen



Calling out her name youd be surprised at what came

Galloping out of the darkness like furniture

Wed have lost it all if it hadnt been for cardinal richelieu

And all his courtiers

The chinese envoy was here but left

The chinese envoy was here but left in his broken hearted pagoda
