The Suicide Kid lyrics

Let's sing a song for the Suicide Kid

Who pulled on the trigger and heard only a click

Who stood on the edge and took a deep breath

Who drank all the poison and waited for death

He waited for death but death never showed

And the Suicide Kid slowly got old

Where does it go when its all spent and gone

When you've downed your last shot and sung

your last song

His wild-haired companions, he's out drunk them all

Now the willowy women won't answer his call

They won't answer his call, they won't come to his bed

The nights last forever for the Suicide Kid

His handsthey tremble, his voice cracks and breaks

The Suicide Kid wakes up with the shakes

He rants and he rambles alone in his room

He falters and stumbles and fades like the moon

He fades like the moon at the dawning of day

But the Suicide Kid won't fade away
