You think you're safe from all that's gone before

No one can touch you now for evermore

It's out of sight but not out of your mind

You cannot lose it you can only pretend

This is the end my friend this is the end

You're a great example to us all

A pillar of society, that's for sure

But I hear those bones shake behind the cupboard door

And I know the combination to free them once more

This is the end my friend this is the end.

I don't need no one to spy

Telescope or private eye

Cos I know, yes I've know it all the while

You go to goodwill functions, charity balls

You walk with royalty in presidential halls

But in your soul a voice is screaming to be heard

No matter how you try it cannot be deterred

This is the end my friend this is the end

I don't need no one to spy

Telescope or private eye

Cos I know, yes I've know it all the while

I hear your modest tones upon the radio

And I see you public face an all-convincing show

You know who you are and where you're coming from

You know what the future hold you cannot always run

This is the end my friend this is the end

I don't need no one to spy

Telescope or private eye

Cos I know, yes I've know it all the while

You think you're safe from all that's gone before

No one can touch you now for evermore

It may be hid but in spite of it all

It's there in neon letters ten feet tall

This is the end my friend this is the end
