st. lenox - nixon lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he said that he let me down. he gave me an apology
and he said he was stuck with a burden, for the rest of his life
his name was richard. he hated the communists
and went after them with a vigor and a mighty fury

[chorus 1]
but whatever happened to nixon?
switchem, fizzle, sinner, missile
sunning on a beach in a town in the sun
with his sandals and a tan and a grin on
and whatever happened to nixon?
pistol, vixen, schism, vision
running from his past on a shoestring?
last minute death bed hail mary prayer?

[verse 2]
i had a dream last night. i asked him if he’d take it all back
and was it hard being the president, of a nation up in arms
he said with a heavy sigh, “i got caught up in the moment
and being the man on the top, it makes you go grey ahead of time.”

[chorus 2]
and whatever happened to nixon?
vigil, journal, heaven, gristle
writing up a memoir, paying for a mistake
travelling the world as a diplomat
and whatever happened to nixon?
tension, piston, chinois, syndrome
living with his wife in new jersey?
living his retirement as an elder statesman?

[solo]

[chorus 2]

[verse 3]
i think that it sucks to fail. and you can’t take a bigger punch
than by giving up with the cameras on, on national tv
maybe i’ll give him a break, after all, i’d have f-cked it up, too
if they put me up in a similar spot, with all them watching me

[chorus 3]
and whatever happened to nixon?
cudgel, whistle, funnel, hymnal
working as a salesman, dictionary peddler
surfing off the coast of a distant island?
and whatever happened to nixon?
venal, system, muzzle, pigeon
sitting on a bench with a bag of breadcrumbs
sitting on the docks with a trenchcoat on?
