Number Three!

Written by Jim Morrison 'The End' (1967) was originally about his breakup with a girlfriend, but over time it evolved into nearly 12-minute track that was finally recorded live in the studio with no overdubbing. The song by L.A. band, The Doors, is best known in popular culture as being used in the 1979 Francis Ford Coppola film 'Apocalypse Now' during the opening sequence, as well as the movie's famous scene portraying the killing of a figure. "This is the end" is repeated throughout the track, thus depicting a doomsday mood.

This is the end, beautiful friend

This is the end, my only friend

The end of our elaborate plans

The end of everything that stands

The end

No safety or surprise

The end

I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be

So limitless and free

Desperately in need of some stranger's hand

In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane

All the children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain

Ride the snake

Ride the snake

To the lake

The ancient lake, baby

The snake is long

Seven miles

Ride the snake

He's old

And his skin is cold

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Come on, baby, take a chance with us

Meet me at the back of the blue bus

Meet me at the back of the blue bus

Do not be ride on the blue bus
Do not be ride
Come on babe
Ride

This is the end, beautiful friend

This is the end, my only friend

The end

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end
