2nd Impression Lyrics - Brain Salad Surgery - 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 up on the stand 

Would you please extend a hand 

To Alexander's Ragtime Band 

Dixieland Dixieland 

Roll up, roll up, roll up, see the show 

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!
