Nico - The End lyrics

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.
