Suicide Is Painless

words by : Mike Altman, music by Jonny Mandel

Through early morning fog I see, 
visions of the things to be.
The pains that are withheld for me,
I realize and I can see.

That suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway.
The losing card I'll someday lay,
and this is all I have to say:

Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat, 
and lay it down before I'm beat,
and to another give my seat,
for that's the only painless feat.

Oh, suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.

The swords of time will peirce our skins.
It dosen't hurt when it begins,
but as it works it's way on in,
the pain grows stronger, watch it grin...

Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once bequested me,
to answer questions that are key:
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"

Oh, suicide is painless, it brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.

And you can do the same thing if you please.......
