Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal
[Verse 2]
I hardly slept the night you wept
Our secret's safe and still well kept
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
[Verse 3]
Traffic cops are all color blind
People steal from their own kind
Evening comes too early for a stroll
[Verse 4]
Down neon streets, the streaker streaks
The speaker speaks but the truth still leaks
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got it
Soul
[Verse 5]
And the podium rocks in the crowded waves
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
That went down long before he played this role
[Verse 6]
For the hotel queens and the magazines
Test tube genes and slot machines
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got it
Soul
[Verse 7]
Hospitals have made him cry
But there's always a freeway in his eye
Though his beach just got too crowded for his stroll
[Verse 8]
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
And wild gift horses strain the reins
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
[Verse 9]
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal
