[00:00.000] 作词 : John, Taupin
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Elton John & Bernie Taupin
[00:40.76]We heard Richard Nixon say,
[00:43.40]welcome to the USA
[00:45.58]
[00:46.21]The common sense I sometimes lack
[00:48.39]
[00:49.08]Has opened up a seismic crack
[00:51.32]
[00:52.13]We've fallen in and I can't pull back
[00:54.93]
[00:58.06]And I guess we'll have to stay
[01:01.68]
[01:04.43]In open arms we put our trust
[01:07.42]they put us on a big red bus
[01:10.17]Twin spirits soaking up a dream
[01:12.42]
[01:13.04]Fuel to feed the press machine
[01:15.29]
[01:15.96]After years that were long and lean
[01:19.46]
[01:22.01]We're finally on our way
[01:25.76]
[01:28.51]And Richard Nixon's on his knees
[01:30.39]
[01:31.00]he's sent so many overseas
[01:32.63]He'd like to know if you and
[01:36.63]me could help him in some way
[01:39.06]
[01:39.93]A little camouflage and glue
[01:41.36]to mask the evil that men do
[01:44.67]
[01:45.49]A small diversion caused by two,
[01:49.36]
[01:52.47]pale kids come to play
[01:54.10]
[01:54.78]And we heard Richard Nixon say
[01:57.72]
[01:58.40]"welcome to the USA"
[02:00.76]
[02:04.54]Neither of us understood the way
[02:10.59]things ticked in Hollywood
[02:12.15]
[02:12.90]We just loaded in and grabbed the bat
[02:15.45]
[02:16.01]With little room to swing a cat
[02:18.21]
[02:18.95]And pretty soon we were where it's at
[02:22.01]Or so the papers say
[02:28.31]
[02:31.12]And all around us suntanned teens,
[02:33.79]beauty like we'd never seen
[02:35.79]
[02:36.91]Our heroes led us by the hand
[02:39.60]Through Brian Wilson's promised land
[02:41.78]
[02:42.60]Where Disney's God and he commands
[02:45.85]
[02:48.52]Both mice and men to stay
[02:51.89]
[02:54.57]And Richard Nixon's on his knees
[02:56.63]
[02:57.20]he's sent so many overseas
[02:59.65]He'd like to know if you and
[03:01.39]me could help him in some way
[03:03.52]
[03:05.95]A little camouflage and glue
[03:07.46]to mask the evil that men do
[03:10.39]
[03:11.27]A small diversion caused by two,
[03:14.95]
[03:18.00]pale kids come to play
[03:19.63]
[03:20.32]And we heard Richard Nixon say
[03:22.50]
[03:24.00]"welcome to the USA"
[03:26.30]
[03:30.05]In a bright red Porsche on Sunset
[03:34.17]
[03:34.98]I saw Steve McQueen
[03:36.35]
[03:37.97]I guess he's just about the coolest
[03:40.16]
[03:41.03]guy I've ever seen
[03:42.97]
[03:44.03]And for you and me that speeding
[03:46.46]car is how it's going to be
[03:48.77]
[03:49.46]I see no brakes just open road
[03:52.26]and lots of gasoline
[03:53.95]
[03:55.70]Oh we heard Richard Nixon say,
[03:57.63]
[03:58.44]welcome to the USA
[04:00.38]
[04:01.50]The common sense I sometimes lack
[04:04.37]Has opened up a seismic crack
[04:06.62]
[04:07.30]We've fallen in and I can't pull back
[04:10.74]
[04:13.67]Pale kids come to play
[04:15.16]
[04:16.04]And we heard Richard Nixon say,
[04:17.91]
[04:19.10]I've gotta go but you can stay
[04:22.47]
[04:25.27]Pale kids come to play
[04:26.64]
[04:27.46]And we heard Richard Nixon say,
[04:29.46]
[04:30.64]I've gotta go but you can stay
