I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks |
| [00:37.50] |
So what, there's nothing left to do |
| [00:43.50] |
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix |
| [00:48.50] |
As if what I thought mattered much to you |
| [02:46.50][00:55.50] |
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End |
| [02:54.50][02:54.50][01:03.50] |
It was forever and ever |
| [02:57.50][02:57.50][01:06.50] |
Did you understand |
| [03:02.50][03:01.50][01:10.50] |
It's Childhood's End |
| [03:04.50][03:05.50][01:13.50] |
But never, the dream is over |
| [01:18.50] |
Sunday morning in the New York Times |
| [01:24.50] |
I read you died last night |
| [01:29.50] |
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind |
| [01:35.50] |
And the note you left behind said: |
| [01:39.50] |
You were always my friend from Childhood's End |
| [01:47.50] |
Seems like forever and ever |
| [01:49.50] |
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend |
| [01:54.50] |
It's near the end |
| [01:57.50] |
You won't ever be a rock and roller |
| [02:46.50][02:46.50][02:01.50] |
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End |
| [02:08.50] |
But never, the dream is over |
| [02:13.50] |
You were just like me |
| [02:16.50] |
I was just like you |
| [02:19.50] |
For eternity I'll think of you |
| [03:09.50] |
(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out) |
| [03:41.50] |
You've got something about you, |
| [03:46.50] |
You've got something I need...") |
