letra de act i, scene 1: “news has a kind of mystery" - john coolidge adams

[nixon]
news, news
news, news, news, news, news
news, news, news, news, news
has a, has a, has a
has a kind of mystery
has a, has a, has a
has a kind of mystery
when i shook hands
when i shook hands with chou enlai
when i shook hands with chou enlai
on this bare field outside peking
just now, the world was listening

[chou]
may i

[nixon]
the whole world was listening

[chou]
may i

[nixon]
listening
listening
and though we spoke quietly
and though we spoke quietly
and though we spoke quietly
the eyes and ears of history
history
history
[nixon, chou]
caught evеry gesture
may i intro—
caught evеry gesture
introduce
caught every gesture
may i introduce
caught every word
the deputy minister
transforming us
of security
as we, transfixed

[chou]
the deputy

[nixon]
transforming us as we, transfixed

[chou]
the minister

[nixon]
transforming us as we, transfixed
made history
history
as we made history
the eyes and ears of history
as we made history
on our flight over from shanghai
the countryside looked drab and grey
“brueghel,” pat had said
we came in peace for all mankind
i said, i said
i said, i said
i said, “we came in peace for all mankind”
and i was put in mind
of our apollo astronauts
simply achieving a great human dream

we live in an unsettled time
we live in an unsettled time
who, who, who, who
who are our enemies?
who, who, who, who
who are our friends?
who are our friends?

the eastern hemisphere beckoned to us
and we have flown
east of the sun
west of the moon
across an ocean of distrust
filled with the bodies of our lost
the earth’s sea of tranquility
the earth’s sea of tranquility
tranquility
the earth’s sea
news, news
news, news
news, news
news, news
it’s prime time in the usa
it’s prime time in the usa
it’s yesterday night
it’s yesterday night
yesterday night
they watch us now

the three main networks’ colors glow
livid through drapes onto the lawn
dishes are washed and homework done
the dog and grandma fall asleep
a car roars past playing loud pop
is gone

as i look down the road
i know america is good at heart
an old cold warrior piloting towards
an unknown shore
through shoals

the rats begin to chew the sheets
the rats
the rats begin to chew the sheets
the rats begin to chew the sheets
the rats begin to chew the sheets
the rats
the rats
the rats begin to chew the sheets

there’s murmuring down below
there’s murmuring
there’s murmuring
murmuring
now there’s ingratitude

my hand is steady as a rock
a sound like mourning doves
reaches my ears
n0body is a friend of ours
the nation’s heartland skips a beat
as our hands shield the spinning globe
from the flame-throwers of the mob
we must press on
we know we want

[kissenger]
mr president
mr president
mr president

[nixon]
what?

[kissenger]
oh, yes
