Paroles :

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, he's 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 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 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..."

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

Doin' a blue rug, on a blue bus, doin' a

Come on, yeah

Fuck, fuck-ah, yeah

Fuck, fuck

Fuck, fuck

Fuck, fuck, fuck yeah

Come on, baby, come on

Fuck me, baby, fuck yeah

Whoa

Fuck, fuck, fuck, yeah

Fuck, yeah, come on, baby

Fuck me, baby, fuck, fuck

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Fuck yeah, do it, yeah

Come on!

Huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah

Alright

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

Critique :

Selon Internet, les paroles font probablement référence au complexe d'Œdipe et/ou à la pièce Œdipe roi de Sophocle. C'est à cause de ce passage que le groupe s'est fait renvoyer du Whisky A Go Go. The End fait directement référence à la psychanalyse freudienne ainsi qu'au chamanisme.
