Childhood's end
Simmons, Thayer, Kulick

Rhy. fig 2a

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

Rhy. fig 1a & 1b

And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever

Rhy. fig 3a & 3b

Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over

Rhy. fig 2a & 2b

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:

Rhy. fig 1a & 1b

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
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over

Rhy. fig 4

You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you

Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1

(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need...
