    [Intro]
    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend
    The end
    
    [Verse 1]
    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
    
    [Verse 2]
    Can you picture what will be?
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need
    Of some stranger's hand In a desperate land
    
    [Verse 3]
    Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain
    
    [Verse 4]
    Ride the King's Highway, baby
    There's danger on the edge of town
    Ride the King's Highway, baby
    Ride the highway West, baby
    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
    The west is the best
    The west is the best
    Get here, we'll do the rest
    The west is the best
    The west is the best
    Get here, and we’ll do the rest
    The blue bus is calling us
    The blue bus is calling us
    Driver, where you taking us?
    
    [Verse 5]
    The killer awoke before dawn
    He put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he walked on down the hall
    He paid a visit to the room where his sister lived and then he
    He walked on down the hall,
    Paid a visit to the room where his brother lived and then he walked on down the hall,
    And then he came to the door he looked inside
    "Father?"
    Father: "Yes, son?"
    "I want to kill you"
    Saw his Mother saw his mother saw his mother mother mother mother father father mother fucker mother father motherfucker mother mother mother mother
    "Mother? I’m going to fuck... Mother? I’m going to fuck you. Fuck you"
    
    [Verse 6]
    Ya see this gun son?
    I got it loaded with dumdums and if I shoot you it will open you right the fuck up
    Ya see this gun son?
    I got it loaded with dumdums and if I shoot you it will open you right the fuck up.
    This is the end.

==Trivia==
* The last verse appears to be original lyrics added by Manson as they are not present in the original song.
* Various lines are omitted or slightly changed from the original studio release by The Doors.
* "Dumdum," as well as being a popular lollipop brand, is a colloquial term for Expanding Bullets, which are bullets that expand upon impact, causing further damage to their intended target.
* An early bootleg recording of the song was uploaded on Jul 31, 2019 (~4 months before official release) by the YouTube channel Marilyn Manson World. It was presumably recorded during a live show where the song was played on the PA.
