Chinese Envoy - Music For a New Society

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
One person's land miserable life after another
Talked to the French and Germans at will
They never listen
They never will

The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left

Calling out her name, you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
We'd have forgiven all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers

But the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but they left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
In his broken-hearted pagoda
