The End (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Keep the lights off, man. C'mon, turn the lights off. Come on, turn the lights off. Turn 'em way down. Hey, Mr. Lightman, ya gotta turn those lights way down, man. Hey, I'm not kiddin', ya gotta turn the lights down. Aw, come on. Oh, what do we care [Chorus] This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Can you picture what will be? So limitless and free Desperately in need Of some stranger's hand In a desperate land Come on, baby [Verse 3] (What?) Hey, we were in this house and there was this sound like Silverware being dropped on linoleum and then Somebody ran into the room and they said "Have you seen the accident outside?" And everybody said: "Hey man, have you seen the accident outside?" Have you seen the accident outside Seven people took a ride Six bachelors and their bride Seven people took a ride [Verse 4] Don't let me die in an automobile I wanna lie in an open field Want the snakes to suck my skin Want the worms to be my friends Want the birds to eat my eyes As here I lie The clouds fly by [Verse 5] Ode to a grasshopper I think I'll open a little shop A little place where they sell things And I think I'll call it, "Grasshopper" I'll have a big green grasshopper out there Have you seen my grasshopper, mama? It's lookin' real good Uh-oh, I blew it, it's a moth, oh That's alright, he ain't got long to go So we'll forgive him [Verse 6] Ensenada The dog crucifix, the dead seal Ghosts of the dead car sun Stop the car I'm getting out, I can't take it Hey, look out, there's somebody coming And there's nothing you can do about it... [Verse 7] The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he, he walked on down the hallway, baby Came to a door He looked inside "Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you" "Mother.. I want to..." Fuck you, mama, all night long Beware, mama Gonna love you, baby, all night, yeah [Bridge] 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 Meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rug, on a blue bus Doin' a blue rug, on a blue bus Come on [Instrumental Break] [Verse 8] WOAH OH KILL WOAH Weh-weh-weh-weh-weh [Chorus] This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend [Verse 9] 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
