The End
The DoorsOriginale | The End - Live version (Hollywood Bowl 1968) |
THE END 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 There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway West, baby Ride the snake Ride the snake To the lake 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 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 went into the room where his sister lived And then he paid a visit to his brother And then he walked on down the hall And he came to a door And he looked inside Father Yes son? I want to kill you Mother, I want to. . . (fuck you) C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end | THE END Come on, turn the lights out, man Turn it way down Hey Mister Lightman You gotta turn those lights way down, man! Hey, I'm not kidding, you gotta turn the lights out Come on! What do we care...? This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my ownly 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 Come on, baby! And we were in this house and there was a sound like Silverware being dropped on linoleum, and then Somebody ran into the room and they said "Have you seen the accident outside?" And everybody said: "Hey man, have you seen the accident outside?" Have you seen the accident outside Seven people took a ride Six bachelors and their bride Seven people took a ride Sever people died Don't let me die in an automobile I wanna lie in an open field Want the snakes to suck my skin Want the worms to be my friends Want the birds to eat my eyes As here I lie The clouds fly by Ode to a grasshopper... I think I'll open a little shop, A little place where they sell things And I think I'll call it "Grasshopper"... I have a big green grasshopper out there Have you seen my grasshopper, mama? Looking real good... (Oh, I blew it, it's a moth) That's alright, he ain't got long to go, so we'll forgive him. Ensenada The dog crucifix The dead seal Ghosts of the dead car sun Stop the card I'm getting out, I can't take it Hey, look out, there's somebody coming And there's nothing you can do about it... The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he...he walked on down the hallway, baby Came to a door He looked inside Father? Yes, son? I wanna kill you Mother...I want to... Fuck you, mama, all night long Beware, mama Gonna love you, baby, all night Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Meet me at the back of the blue bus Meet me at the back of the blue bus, Blue rock, Blue bus, Blue rock Blue bus. Kill! Kill! This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end Hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft cries The end of nights we tried to die This is the end |
