Suicide is Painless

Suicide is Painless



Music by Johnny Mandel

Lyrics by Mike Altman





Through early morning fog I see

Visions of the things to be

The things 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 its 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
