Nick Drake - Suicide Is Painless lyrics

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 to late, and... REFRAIN The game of life is hard to play I'm going to 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?' '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.
