The End - 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 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

(West is the best)

(The west is the best)

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…»

Ohh

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
