The End (partial) / “Let’s Feed Ice Cream to the Rats” Songtext
von The Doors

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, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby


Ride the snake
Ride the snake
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 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
He walked on down the hallway
And he came to a door
And he looked inside


"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you"
"Mother, I want to..."
Come on, yeah

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
Doin′ a Blue rock, on a Blue bus, doin' a
Come on yeah!

Fuck, fuck-ah, yeah
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck, yeah!
Come on baby, come on
Fuck me baby, fuck yeah
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, yeah!
Fuck, yeah! come on baby
Fuck me baby, fuck, fuck
Whoa, whoa, yeah, fuck, yeah
Come on, yeah
Alright

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

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
