The Heart That Forgave Richard Nixon Songtext
von Curtis Eller’s American Circus

One, two, one, two, three, four

This is the heart
The heart that they found
Down by the river
In that frozen ground
Like a Cold War fever
It won′t cool down
Take a look at my money
Take a look at this town
(Take a look)
Took at that Cadillac
(Cadillac)
Stalled out on the railroad track
Boom boom, click click
I'm taking my money back


Let me hear that music
Turn out the light
Henry Kissinger gonna dance all night
Take a look at those hands in the baptismal pool
That dirty water running underneath the school
(Hey Mama)
Hey Mama, simmer down
(Simmer down)
These people don′t mess around
Hey! Put the word out
This is my last night in town

Don't you know they got your number?
If they catch you in that water man
They're gonna pull you under and
Here come that heart attack
I can feel the friction
This is the heart that forgave Richard Nixon

Baby you got to know
Right from the start
I do not have a forgiving heart
Don′t you feel the fever when you touch my head
Take a look at that city
Everybody′s dead
(Listen to)
Listen to those people moan
(People moan)
Nobody to set that bone
Step in line with Oswald and you will never walk alone


Don't you know they got your number
If they catch you in that water man
They′re gonna pull you under
Here come that heart attack
I can feel the friction

Well, don't you know
These are the hands that signed the pardon
Another heart attack alone in the garden and
Here they come to overturn that conviction
This is the heart that forgave Richard Nixon
This is the heart that forgave Richard Nixon
This is, this is, this is the heart
Get lost
