Childhood's End - 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 

(chorus) 
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 choruses, overlapping, fade out) 
You've got something about you, 
You've got something I need...")
