Chinese Envoy Lyrics by John Cale

Chinese Envoy Lyrics

    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
    From one person's miserable life after another
    She could talk to the french and germans at will
    They'd never listen

    Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came
    Galloping out of the darkness like furniture
    We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for cardinal richelieu
    And all his courtiers
    The chinese envoy was here but left
    The chinese envoy was here but left in his broken hearted pagoda
