Nixon Lyrics by St. Lenox

Ten Hymns From My American Gothic

0

[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 fucked 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?
