Childhood's End (Coda Ending Version)

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks

So what, there's nothing left to do

And you and your obsessions and your crucifix

As if what I thought mattered much to you

[00:55.50]And you were always my friend from Childhood's End

[02:54.50][01:03.50]It was forever and ever

[02:57.50][01:06.50]Did you understand

[03:01.50][01:10.50]It's Childhood's End

[03:05.50][01:13.50]But never, the dream is over

Sunday morning in the New York Times

I read you died last night

It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind

And the note you left behind said:

You were always my friend from Childhood's End

Seems like forever and ever

Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend

It's near the end

You won't ever be a rock and roller

[02:46.50][02:01.50]Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End

But never, the dream is over

You were just like me

I was just like you

For eternity I'll think of you

(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)

You've got something about you,

You've got something I need...")
