The End (Rainbow Theatre Live Version)

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 eye again

Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In our 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
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 woke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He once 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
Father?
I want to

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the new 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
