Where Heroes 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'd ride to heaven to see the stuff you can't see on your TV screen 

We drove his Cadillac up to heaven's floor 
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door 
The security angel asked for some I.D. 
Then the gate parted the music started as we rolled into the front yard 

If I was special maybe I could be a hero when I died 
I'd get my wings and learn to fly 
I feel so funky 'cos I know 
When I die I wish to go 
To the place where all the heroes go to die 

This special heaven was home to all tyhe 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 died 
I'd get my wings and learn to fly 
I feel so funky 'cos I know 
When I die I wish to go 
To the place where all the heroes go to die 

My skin is dotted pink and green I hope 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 

That very evening I had a talk with God 
My lord he asked me what I thought of life above 
I said "Everything is awesome man it's like a hero wonderland 
I'm sure if I see the full picture yet but I think I understand" 

And God said: "Yes, I'd say it's kinda nice 
Eternal life beyond them skies 
We live our lives with open eyes 
Everything you want is free 
There's always sunshine on TV 
In the place where all the heroes go to die 

Elvis said: "It's time to fly" 
So all the heroes waved goodbye 
From their jungle in the skies 
I feel so funky 'cos I know 
When I die I wish to go 
To the place where all the heroes go to die
