Long Slow Suicide - The Divine Comedy

Well, now and then I like a cigarette

One day I’ll quit them, but not just yet

Though every drag I take takes a day off my life

Like a long slow suicide

Life is a long slow suicide

I cheer on my team through the thick and thin

Though sometimes it seems like they’re scared to win

And every time they play it takes a day off my life

Like a long slow suicide

Life is a long slow suicide

Well, I drink too much and I work too hard

And I fry my food in a pool of lard

Then every show I play it takes a day of my life

Like a long slow suicide

Life is a long slow suicide

So when you feel like you can’t go on

There’s always this to take comfort from:

Every day you live takes a day of your life

Like a long slow suicide

Life is a long slow suicide

It’s a long slow suicide

Life is a long slow suicide
