[Verses]
Dsus2 C Dsus2
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
C Dsus2
And all the children are insane
C Dsus2
All the children are insane
C Dsus2
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah!
Dsus2
There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the kings 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 is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he’s old,
And his skin is cold
Dsus2
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here, and we’ll do the rest
Dsus2 C Dsus2
The blue bus is calling us
Dsus2 C Dsus2
The blue bus is calling us
Dsus2 C Dsus2
Driver, where you’ve taken us
Dsus2
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, 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...” Aaaahhhh !
Come on, baby
Dsus2
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
C Dsus2
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
C Dsus2
Doing a blue rock
C Dsus2
On a blue bus
C Dsus2
Doing a blue rock
C Dsus2
Come on, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
[Outro](calmly)
Dsus2 riff
This is the end
C Dsus2
Beautiful friend
riff
This is the end
C Dsus2
My only friend, the end
C G Dsus2
It hurts to set you free
C Dsus2
But you’ll never follow me
C Dsus2
The end of laughter and soft lies
C G Dsus2
The end of nights we tried to die
C G Dsus2
This is the end...
