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
