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.
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  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.
That  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.
Cause  Suicide  is painless
 It brings  on many 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 its way  on in
 The pain  grows stronger...watch  it grin
For  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?'
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 please.
