Where Heros Go To Die

Espen Lind


I spoke to Elvis on the phone 
the other day 
His ghost was calling
from a pay phone in L.A. 

He said he'd meet me 
on the corner of my dreams 
And we would ride to heaven 
to see the stuff you can't see 
on your TV screen 

Ah-hah 
A-ha-ha yeah 
Ooh-o-oh yeah 

We drove his Cadillac 
up to heaven's floor 
Knock knock knockin' 
on heaven's door 
Yeah

The security angel asked for some I.D. 
Then the gate parted 
and the music started 
as we rolled into the front yard

If I was special 
maybe I 
could be a hero 
when I die 
I'd get my wings and learn to fly 

Yeah-e-yeah yeah

I feel so funky 'cos I know 
When I die I wish to go
to the place 
where all the heroes go to die

I-hi I-i-hi yeah 
Oh-o-hi yeah 

This special heaven 
was home to all the stars 
The first one I saw was Hendrix 
burning his guitar 
Freddie Mercury and Kennedy was there 
But I didn't see Marilyn 
so I forgot to ask about their affair

If I was special 
maybe I
could be a hero
when I die
I'd get my wings and learn to fly 

Yeah-e-yeah-ah 

I feel so funky 'cos I know 
When I die I wish to go 
To the place 
where all the heroes go to die

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 
(Mmm...) 
(...) 

My skin is dotted pink and green
I hope to God this is a dream 
or else I'm gonna scream
(...) 

If you say I lie to you 
I tell you every word is true too 
(...) 

Ah yeah 

That very evening I had a talk with God 
My lord he asked me 
what I thought of life a
