[00:06.71] Remember when the days fell long
[00:10.69] And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:15.45]
[00:16.07] We didn't have a care in the world
[00:20.03]
[00:20.79] With mommy and daddy standing by
[00:25.12]
[00:25.88] Happily ever after fails
[00:30.10] We're poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:35.37] Lawyers dwell on small details
[00:39.75] Since daddy had to fly
[00:43.32]
[00:44.73] But I know a place where we can go
[00:49.14]
[00:50.48] Still untouched by man
[00:53.48]
[00:55.59] We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
[00:58.81]
[00:59.57] The tall grass wave in the wind
[01:03.58]
[01:04.25] You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:08.98]
[01:09.58] Let your hair fall all around
[01:13.70]
[01:14.40] Offer up your best defense
[01:18.18]
[01:19.27] But this is the end
[01:21.22]
[01:24.50] This is the end
[01:26.38]
[01:29.48] This is the end of the innocence
[01:35.61]
[01:45.93] Oh beautiful for spacious skies
[01:49.85] Turn small and fint it threatening
[01:54.87] We're beating plowshares into swords
[01:58.88] But two coward leader kill a king
[02:03.68] Armchair warriors often fail
[02:08.03] We've been poisoned by these fairytales
[02:13.11] Lawyers clean up all details
[02:17.29] Since daddy had to die
[02:21.43] But I know a place where we can go
[02:27.76] Strip down to the skin
[02:32.24] We'll sit and watch the clouds flow high
[02:36.50] All tall grass stress in the wind
[02:40.52]
[02:41.73] You lay your head back on the ground
[02:46.34]
[02:47.01] Let your hair spill all around me
[02:52.13] Offer up your best defense
[02:57.20] This is the end
[02:58.75]
[03:02.35] This is the end
[03:04.19]
[03:19.03] I will come and find you where you lie
[03:23.31] I will take you there
[03:25.40] We'll go tonight
[03:27.73]
[03:28.33] Leave lawyers nothing to rely
[03:32.14] And curtain scram by candle light
[03:37.90] I need to remember this
[03:41.48] Thing that might not even exsit
[03:46.41] It's just some rich man's town sitting
[03:51.35] But my heart broke every line
[03:55.62]
[03:56.74] You can drive to a hiding place i know
[04:01.41] I will allow dead ends
[04:07.26] Nothing tripped there long ago
[04:11.35] Now it's just a place that i rent
[04:16.30] I will be there you hear it is hanging down
[04:21.88] You've been tired out
[04:23.86] You've been run around
[04:26.79] You could watching all the hope dream now
[04:31.75] The faces of your old school friends
[04:36.55] He will hold you close
[04:38.82] He will whisper in day
[04:42.38] This is the end
[04:44.82]
[04:47.69] You know
[04:48.28] This is the end
[04:50.32]
[04:53.55] This is the end of the innocence
