Remember when the days fell long And rolled beneath a deep blue sky We didn't have a care in the world With mommy and daddy standing by Happily ever after fails We're poisoned by these fairy tales Lawyers dwell on small details Since daddy had to fly But I know a place where we can go Still untouched by man We'll sit and watch the clouds go by The tall grass wave in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground Let your hair fall all around Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end This is the end of the innocence Oh beautiful for spacious skies Turn small and fint it threatening We're beating plowshares into swords But two coward leader kill a king Armchair warriors often fail We've been poisoned by these fairytales Lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to die But I know a place where we can go Strip down to the skin We'll sit and watch the clouds flow high All tall grass stress in the wind You lay your head back on the ground Let your hair spill all around me Offer up your best defense This is the end This is the end I will come and find you where you lie I will take you there We'll go tonight Leave lawyers nothing to rely And curtain scram by candle light I need to remember this Thing that might not even exsit It's just some rich man's town sitting But my heart broke every line You can drive to a hiding place i know I will allow dead ends Nothing tripped there long ago Now it's just a place that i rent I will be there you hear it is hanging down You've been tired out You've been run around You could watching all the hope dream now The faces of your old school friends He will hold you close He will whisper in day This is the end You know This is the end This is the end of the innocence
