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 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"


"Yes, I'd say it's kinda nice
Eternal life beyond them skies
We live our lives with open eyes"


Yeah and he said:
"Everything you want is free
There's always sunshine on TV
in the place
where all the heroes go to die"


Heroes go to die

Baby
Oooh to die


Elvis said: "It's time to fly"
So all the heroes waved goodbye
from their jungle in the skies

Yeah-e-yeah yeah

I feel so funky now I know

When I die I wish to go
to the place
where all the heroes go to die

Oooh...

Yeah yeah yeah
