Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9 First Impression Lyrics
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the airAbout an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the coldNow their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.Ill be thereIll be thereI 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 thereIll be thereI will be there.There must be someone who can set them free:To take their sorrow from this odysseyTo help the helpless and the refugeeTo protect whats left of humanity.Cant you seeCant you seeCant you see.Ill be thereIll be thereI will be there;To heal their sorrowTo beg and borrowFight tommorow.Step inside! hello! weve the most amazing showYoull enjoy it all we knowStep inside! step inside!Weve got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting *****s.Leave your hammers at the boxCome inside! come inside!Roll up! roll up! roll up!See the show!Left behind the bars, rows of bishops heads in jarsAnd a bomb inside a carSpectacular! spectacular!If you follow me theres a specialitySome tears for you to seeMisery, misery,Roll up! roll up! roll up!See the show!Next upon the bill in our house of vaudevilleWeve a stripper in a tillWhat 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 endsWere so glad you could attendCome inside! come inside!There behind a glass is a real blade of grassBe careful as you pass.Move along! move along!Come inside, the shows about to startGuaranteed to blow your head apartRest assured youll get your moneys worthThe 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 vaselineWill perform on guillotineWhat a scene! what a scene!Next upon the stand will you please extend a handTo alexanders ragtime bandRoll up! roll up! roll up!See the show!Performing on a stool weve a sight to make you droolSeven virgins and a muleKeep it cool. keep it cool.We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shownWere 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!
