The Doors - The End (full version)

Originally written by Jim Morrison as a song about breaking up with girlfriend Mary Werbelow, released in January 1967. ----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 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 callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' 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 hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...WAAAAAA
C'mon baby,--------- No "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 blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah
Kill, 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

I love this song, its really good, thank you for uploading it.

Now, having said that, I have to say this; I've never really listened to the lyrics in this song properly before and having just read them through in the description there I realise they are quite bad... luckily the song is still awesome as a whole.

@IrishMactire

In my opinion, the lyrics are magnificent.

This song is about me killing my mom and dad. A ancient historian came to my hoax house and said those are not your parents you have been kid-nap as young child & your being extorted-kill them! This well make it easier to wear an ancien ceremony mask. So, I killed them & everyone else wrote the lyrics handed them to Jim fearing he would he would scream at me, but he laughed, he loved it and played it.

Apocalypse Now

[deniselu97]

The song is beautiful in every both musically and the lyrics itself too that doesn't even need music.Everything he says is poetry......

"Into this house we're thrown,

Into this world we're thrown.

Like a dog without a bone."

[Synnek1]

"Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane" profound! >;-)

[The666thBowelOfHell]

This is the End, Beautiful friend... it hurts to set you free

[Synnek1]
