Chinese Envoy (Outtakes) - 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
A life of one miserable person after another
Talked to the French and Germans at will
But they never listen, they never will

The Chinese envoy was here
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
You'd have lost it 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 and left
In his broken-hearted pagoda
