[Verse 1]

Through early morning fog, I see

Visions of the things to be

The pains that are withheld for me

I realised that I can see


[Chorus]

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please


[Verse 3]

The sword of time will pierce our skin

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger, watch it grin


[Chorus]

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please


[Verse 4]

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?"


[Chorus]

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I...

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And you can do the same thing if you please
