Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, Part 2 (recorded live at the Metropolitan Theater, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on August 16, 1997) Songtext
von 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
Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth
You've got to see the show, it′s a dynamo
You′ve got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh

Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies


Come inside, the show′s about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
You've got to see the show, it′s a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it′s rock and roll, oh

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
