Liedtext

Musik: Johnny Mandel Text: Michael B Altman

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

So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless (suicide)

It brings on many changes (changes)

And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn'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 requested me

To answer questions that are key

"Is it to be or not to be?"

And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"

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
