about

I was working on a cadaver of a 42 year old tennis pro who had shot himself in the head.

lyrics

SLOW SUICIDE



VERSE: LYING ON A TABLE COLD AND DEAD
PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD
IT HAPPENS OH SO FAST
WE SEE AN AMBULANCE DRIVE PAST

CHORUS: I WONDER, I WONDER
ABOUT SLOW SUICIDE

VERSE: QUESTIONS RUN ALL THROUGH MY MIND
THE ANSWERS I JUST CAN’T FIND
PEOPLE COME HERE AND THEY SIGH
THEY STAND HERE AND ASK WHY

CHORUS:

VERSE: CADAVERS LIE ALL AROUND
SLOW SUICIDE CUT THEM DOWN
FAST DEATH AND SLOW DEATH
THEY ALL TOOK THEIR LAST BREATH


CHORUS:


VERSE: HEAVY SMOKING ISN’T RIGHT
EATING TIL YOUR PANTS GET TIGHT
DRINKING TO EASE YOUR STRAIN
PUTTING DRUGS IN YOUR BRAIN

CHORUS:

VERSE: SUICIDE WAS QUICK AND FAST
BUT THE PAIN DIDN’T LAST
WHY DO WE KILL SO SLOW
IS ALL I WANT TO KNOW

CHORUS:
