Chinese Envoy (outtakes) Songtext
von 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
A life of one miserable person after another
Talked to the French and Germans at will
But they never listen, they never will


The Chinese envoy was here
Chinese еnvoy was here but left
Yes the Chinеse 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
You'd have lost it 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 they left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here and left
In his broken hearted pagoda
