Kiss - Childhood's End lyrics

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
