The End of the Tour is always the last song played during the playing of songs by They Might Be Giants under the Electric Tree after Passionfruit at Lancaster. This tradition began when someone played the song after Passionfruit on his guitar (possibly in 2001, but unconfirmed) and gave the lyrics to everyone else. In following years (and to this day), the song has been played through speakers plugged into the Electric Tree. In 07.1, however, due to the moving of Passionfruit to Weis Field and the general lack of organization, Zev Hurwich played it on his guitar rather than through speakers. Unfortunately, few people knew the lyrics to the song.

Lyrics

The End of the Tour, by They Might Be Giants


There's a girl with a crown and a scepter
Who's on WLSD
And she says that the scene isn't what it's been
And she's thinking of going home
That it's old and it's totally over now
And it's old and it's over, it's over now
And it's over, it's over, it's over now
I can see myself

At the end of the tour
When the road disappears
If there's any more people around
When the tour runs aground
And if you're still around
Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world
So we'll meet at the end of the tour

Never to part since the day we met
Out on Interstate 91
I was bent metal you were a flaming wreck
When we kissed at the overpass
I was sailing along with the people
Driving themselves to distraction inside me
Then came a knock on the door which was odd
And the picture abruptly changed

At the end of the tour
When the road disappears
If there's any more people around
When the tour runs aground
And if you're still around
Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world
So we'll meet at the end of the tour

This was the vehicle these were the people
You opened the door and expelled all the people
This was the vehicle these were the people
You opened the door and expelled all the people
This was the vehicle these were the people
You let them go

At the end of the tour
When the road disappears
If there's any more people around
When the tour runs aground
And if you're still around
Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The engagements are booked through the end of the world
So we'll meet at the end of the tour
And we're never gonna tour again
No, we're never gonna tour again
