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
