Emersonlake & Palmer - Karn Evil 93rd Impression lyrics

When I get to heaven I want to be a 5 year old forever

A little closer to the ground

Look at all the change I found in the grocery store

I jumped off the couch today, I swear I was not afraid

'Cause I had on my red cape just like Superman

I caught a blue belly with my best buddy Eddie in the driveway yesterday

I got so excited that I squeezed the tail tight

It popped off and it got away, but that's okay

It's alright

CHORUS

When I was Five

Feeling so alive

Running proud and free

I'll bet you can't catch me, oh no

Running through the rain

Splashing in the mud

I can act insane

Living life' s my favorite game

When I get to heaven I want to be a 5 year old forever

I've got a fire engine that's just my size

I'd drive all night to see the sunrise if my mom would let me

There is nothing I can't do when I have on my underoos

Just like Luke Skywalker

I found I had a neighbor, a real trouble maker named Michael Carmody

He poked out all the knotholes in the fence

And gave me handfuls of his army figurines

So small and green (and good)

It's alright

REPEAT CHORUS

The world had not yet lied to me

As far as I knew I was free

I was free, I was free

REPEAT CHORUS

When I get to heaven, When I get to heaven
