The End
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
Ride the king's highway, baby
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway, baby
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he's old and his skin is cold
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
We'll do the rest
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
And we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He paid a visit the room where his sister lived and then he
He walked on down the hall
Paid a visit the room where his brother lived and then he
Walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
He looked inside
Father
Father
Yes, son?
I want to kill you
He saw his mother
Saw his mother, saw his mother
Mother, mother mother
Mother mother
Motherfucker
Mother, mother
Motherfucker
Mother, mother, mother, mother
Mother
I'm gonna fuck you
Mother
I'm gonna fuck you
Fuck you
You
You
You see this gun, son?
I got it loaded with Dum Dums
And if I shoot you
It will open you right the fuck up
You see this gun, son?
I got it loaded with Dum Dums
And if I shoot you
It will open you right the fuck up
This is the end
