Song lyrics
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 we'll 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 callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' 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, fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

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

This song is one of the top 5 songs ever recorded, yet every time you here it from a live recording its different and never lost anything from show to show. it also proves the Doors were a band and not just Jim Morrison being a sex symbol, Jim was a poet and his band could follow and play anything and change directions at any second they were the perfect band. any of them separetly would be great musicians, all of them together were the greatest band ever.

This is quite possibly the most underrated song ever... most everyone I've talked to says it sucks because The Doors have a unique style, and it is more poetry than sung lyric.

This song seemed to me to be pretty boring and without any originality, just my opinion though, so don't get all indignant and rant at me.

A great song, freaks me out a little though. "The killer walked into his sisters room...and he...walked on down the hall...to his brothers room...and he...went into his parents room. Father, yes son, I want to kill you. Mother, I want to....FUCK YOU"

I don't know about you guys but if you pay a bit more attention to the part where Jim say Kill kill kill... i swear that hes saying FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK fuck me baby! it kinda freaked me out. One of my fav songs of all time by the way it totally blew me away when i heard it for the 1st time! i was like either the guy was on too much acid or this song is the answer to our mysteries of the universe!! either way i love it!!!

jim morrison used to tell the press his parents were dead; i'm not sure this about how much he hates them.
jim was actually very well read, and so the poetry in the middle that freaks everybody out? it's based on a play by greek playwright Sophocles, who wrote the play Oedipus Rex. Basically the premise of it is how Oedipus unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother.
i've also read that the other explanation behind "killing the father and fucking the mother" is about cleansing yourself of everybody else's ideas, thoughts or influences (killing the father) and getting back to the basics, which is the "mother", such as "mother nature" or some such.

_The End_The Writtings Of Jim Morrison_As Written In The American Night_


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 eye 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.


There's danger on the edge of town,
Ride the King's highway.
Weird scenes inside the gold mine;
Ride the highway west, baby.


Ride the snake.
Ride the snake,
To the lake, the ancient lake.
The snake is 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 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.


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.

if you guys have seen the movie The Doors it explains a lot about this and other songs and his life... oh and ya he was most certainly tripping on acid... but this is most certain one of the worlds greatest songs also. if you havent seen The Doors, go watch it. NOW i almost fucking cried when he died... AHH

This song can't be complimented in words, it's probably the greatest song ever made, my suggestion take some acid, sit back and have this tune on repeat, you'll love it that much more.

It's better than great, it's the best fucking song in the world.

There is a reason "riders on the storm" don't play it.

and Laura_for_kurt, about his issue with his parents:

Kill the father, fuck the mother is like it's reffered to earlier in this thread. It's about freeing yourself of limiting believes and becoming one with "the mother". This sentence alone is "the doors" The doors to receptions. In the words of jim himself:
"there are things known and things unknown, and in between, there are the doors"

This song represent everything the best band in history represent. It's by no doubt the best song in the world.



As he says to the police that arrests him in the movie, your all a buch of slaves.
