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 would ride to heaven

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
