Текст песни Childhood's End (Coda Ending Version) - Kiss

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

You were always my friend from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
You all understand the Childhood's End
But never the dream is over

You were always my friend from Childhood's End (Childhood's End)
Seems like forever and ever (I think of you)
You all understand (just like me) the Childhood's End
But never (for the eternity) the dream is over (I'm gonna think of you)
You were always my friend from Childhood's End (Childhood's End)
Seems like forever and ever (I think of you)
You all understand (just like me) the Childhood's End
But never (you got something for me) the dream is over (I'm gonna think of you)

You were always my friend from Childhood's End (Childhood's End)
Seems like forever and ever (I think of you)
You all understand (just like me) the Childhood's End
But never (for the eternity) the dream is over (I'm gonna think of you)
