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
