The End Songtext
von Nico

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 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, babe
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby


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 you′re 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
LivedAnd 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
Take a chance with us
Meet me at the back of the bus

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
You said set you free
But you never followed me

The end of laughter and soft lights
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
