Karn Evil 9 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Welcome back, my friends

to the show that never ends.

We’re so glad you could attend!

Come inside!

Come inside!

There behind a glass

stands a real blade of grass

be careful as you pass.

Move along!

Move along!

Come inside, the show’s about to start

guaranteed to blow your head apart

Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth

The greatest show in Heaven, Hell, or Earth

(Chorus)

You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo.

You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll

Right before your eyes,

We’ll pull laughter from the skies

And he laughs until he cries,

then he dies, then he dies

(repeat Chorus)

(Extended instrumental, mostly keyboard)

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 Alexander’s Ragtime Band

Dixieland, Dixieland

Roll up!

Roll up!

Roll up!

See the show!

Performing on a stool

we’ve 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!

See the shoooowwwwwww!
