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, no surprise   The end, I'll never look into your eyes again      Can you picture what we'll 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, baby   Weird scenes inside the gold mine   Ride the highway West      Ride the snake   Ride the snake to the lake   The ancient lake   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're 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 to the room where his sister lived   And then he paid a visit to his brother   And then he, 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"      Come on, baby, take a chance with us   Come on, baby, take a chance with us   Come on, 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
