[00:32.50]I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
[00:37.50]So what, there's nothing left to do
[00:43.50]And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
[00:48.50]As if what I thought mattered much to you
[02:46.50][00:55.50]And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
[02:54.50][02:54.50][01:03.50]It was forever and ever
[02:57.50][02:57.50][01:06.50]Did you understand
[03:02.50][03:01.50][01:10.50]It's Childhood's End
[03:04.50][03:05.50][01:13.50]But never, the dream is over
[01:18.50]Sunday morning in the New York Times
[01:24.50]I read you died last night
[01:29.50]It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
[01:35.50]And the note you left behind said:
[01:39.50]You were always my friend from Childhood's End
[01:47.50]Seems like forever and ever
[01:49.50]Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
[01:54.50]It's near the end
[01:57.50]You won't ever be a rock and roller
[02:46.50][02:46.50][02:01.50]Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
[02:08.50]But never, the dream is over
[02:13.50]You were just like me
[02:16.50]I was just like you
[02:19.50]For eternity I'll think of you
[03:09.50](Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
[03:41.50]You've got something about you,
[03:46.50]You've got something I need...")
