Lake & Palmer Emerson - Karn Evil 9 First Impression lyrics
Your rating:
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare, Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold. Ill be there Ill be there I will be there. Suffering in silence, theyve all been betrayed. They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way, Praying for survival at the end of the day. There is no compassion for those who stay. Ill be there Ill be there I will be there. There must be someone who can set them free: To take their sorrow from this odyssey To help the helpless and the refugee To protect whats left of humanity. Cant you see Cant you see Cant you see. Ill be there Ill be there I will be there; To heal their sorrow To beg and borrow Fight tommorow. Step inside! hello! weve the most amazing show Youll enjoy it all we know Step inside! step inside! Weve got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks. Leave your hammers at the box Come inside! come inside! Roll up! roll up! roll up! See the show! Left behind the bars, rows of bishops heads in jars And a bomb inside a car Spectacular! spectacular! If you follow me theres a speciality Some tears for you to see Misery, misery, Roll up! roll up! roll up! See the show! Next upon the bill in our house of vaudeville Weve a stripper in a till What a thrill! what a thrill! And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs, We pull jesus from a hat, Get into that! get into that! Roll up! roll up! roll up! See the show! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends Were so glad you could attend Come inside! come inside! There behind a glass is a real blade of grass Be careful as you pass. Move along! move along! Come inside, the shows about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured youll get your moneys worth The greatest show in heaven, hell or earth. Youve got to see the show, its a dynamo. Youve got to see the show, its rock and roll .... Soon the gypsy queen in a glaze of vaseline Will perform on guillotine What a scene! what a scene! Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand To alexanders ragtime band Roll up! roll up! roll up! See the show! Performing on a stool weve a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule Keep it cool. keep it cool. We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown Were exclusively our own, All our own. all our own. Come and see the show! come and see the show! come and see the show! See the show!
