  • You think you're safe from all that's gone before

    No one can touch you now for evermore

    It's out of sight but not out of your mind

    You cannot lose it you can only pretend

    This is the end my friend this is the end



    You're a great example to us all

    A pillar of society, that's for sure

    But I hear those bones shake behind the cupboard door

    And I know the combination to free them once more

    This is the end my friend this is the end



    I don't need no one to spy

    Telescope or private eye

    'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while



    You go to goodwill functions, charity balls

    You walk with royalty in presidential halls

    But in your soul a voice is screaming to be heard

    No matter how you try it cannot be deterred

    This is the end my friend this is the end



    I don't need no one to spy

    Telescope or private eye

    'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while



    I hear your modest tones upon the radio

    And I see you public face an all-convincing show

    You know who you are and where you're coming from

    You know what the future hold you cannot always run

    This is the end my friend this is the end



    I don't need no one to spy

    Telescope or private eye

    'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while



    You think you're safe from all that's gone before

    No one can touch you now for evermore

    It may be hid but in spite of it all

    It's there in neon letters ten feet tall

    This is the end my friend this is the end Publisher: CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC
