Campaigner

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am a lonely visitor.

I came to late to cause a stir,

Though I campaigned all my life

towards that goal.

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.

Traffic cops are all color blind.

People steal from their own kind.

Evening comes to early for a stroll.

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.

The podium rocks in the crowded waves.

The speaker talks of the beautiful saves

That went down long before

he played this role

For the hotel queens and the magazines,

Test tube genes and slot machines

Where even Richard Nixon got soul.

Even Richard Nixon has got it,

Soul.

Hospitals have made him cry,

But there's always a free way in his eye,

Though his beach just got

too crowded for his stroll.

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.

I am a lonely visitor.

I came to late to cause a stir,

Though I campaigned all my life

towards that goal.
