4.Childhood's End

Lyrics:Simmons/Thayer/Kulick
Music:Simmons/Thayer/Kulick

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you

And you were always my friend
from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over

Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said

You were always my friend
from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
It's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend
from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you

(Repeat chorus, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need
I Will Be There
Stanley, Kulick, Cuomo
Each and every day
People turn away
Change the things they feel
Change the things they say

We can never know
Where our lives will lead
Wherever you go
Whenever you need
