The End - Rock/Punk/Metal Version

This is the end
Beautiful friend, the end
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, yeah

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 are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And then he
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 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
(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, tonight
Blue rock do-nah
Blue bus tonight
Blue rock
Come on, baby!

This is the end
Beautiful friend, the end
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
