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...")
