The End (Live at The Matrix, San Francisco, CA 3/7/67 - Third Set)

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

Come on, baby!

[?]

Hey!

Whoo! Come on, baby, [?]

Alright

The killer awoke before dawn

He put his boots on

He took a face from the ancient gallery

And he walked on down the hallway, baby

Fall down now

Strange gods are coming

Fall down now

Strange gods are coming

Their shirts are soft

Their eyes are clean

Their hair is long

The sea is green

Come on

Can you stand by

And watch the pictures burn

And not leave bits

To plunder its [?]

Sea's calls melting by the hair

Grab these ashes for your face

Keep the incense burning pure

The flames eat higher on the walls

This is the end

Of all we've fondled

All those times that mattered, baby

Walk on down the hallway, baby

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!

Do it, mama!

Fuck! Fuck! Kill!

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Meet me at the back of the blue bus

Meet me at the back of the blue bus

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

Blue rug, on the blue bus, ah!

Come on, baby, ride

Ride

By my side, you gotta ride, ride, ride, ride

Come on, baby, ride

Ride, you gotta ride

Ahh!

Ride, ride, ride ride ride, ride

(screaming)

You gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Whoo! Yeah! Come on, baby, ride, [?], yeah

(screaming), baby

Kill, kill, kill

Oh...

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

Thank you.
