"The End" lyrics

"The End"
(originally by The Doors)

This is the end, beautiful friend, the end
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?
This briddle 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 summary

There is danger on the edge of town
Right in King's Highway, baby
Where it seems inside a gold mine
Right at Highway West, baby

Ride a snake, ride a snake
Through the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride a snake, his 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 walked before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
And he went to 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 the door and he looked inside
Father? "Yes son", I want to kill you
Mother, I want to

Come on baby, take a chance with us
Come on baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the black bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free but you will never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we try to die
This is the end
