Words by Mike Altman
Music by Johnny 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... [REFRAIN]: That suicide is painless. It brings on many changes. And I can take or leave it if I please.I try to find a way to make,
All our little joys relate,
Without that ever-present hate,
But now I know that it's too late, and... [REFRAIN]
The game of life is hard to play,I'm gonna lose it anyway.
The losing card I'll someday lay,
So this is all I have to say. [REFRAIN]
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. [REFRAIN]
The sword of time will pierce our skins.
It doesn't hurt when it begins.
But as it works its way on in,
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but... [REFRAIN]A brave man once requested me,to answer questions that are key.
Is it to be or not to be?
And I replied '
Oh why ask me?' [REFRAIN] '
Cause 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 choose.
