The Doors - The End (Album Version - 1967)

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

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 is 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 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 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
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Still now
Blue bus
Oh now
Blue bus
Still now
Uuh yeah

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 night we tried to die
This is the end

The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad!

[MetalDrummer776]

This sent me a vision once of the long cold snake in the ancient goldmine it freaked me out still does

best doors song ever 

[peesyweesy]

This song represents the Doors better than anything else they did. Pure art.

[ulisesrogelionirvana]

I felt like he was up there, waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out, like a soldier, standing up... not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead, and that's who he really took his orders from...

The horror...the horror...

The Doors led the sixties as one of the most influential and creative bands around. I do not know why but I thought of this Doors classic today.

I do not know why I thought of the Doors today. This is the end may reflect my incredulous frustration at what is going on today in our country. Sometimes music is the best spin and sens the most reliable vibes.
