A
SUICIDE IN SCHENECTADY
Depression rules the household
The man is never there
The woman has a headache
Alone and in despair
She ’s sick of silly gossip
And shopping in the mall
Her life is just a shadow
She hasn ’t far to fall
Tomorrow may find her
As cold and peaceful as she can be
She ’ll leave her dreams behind her
A suicide in schenectady
She ’ll swallow something lethal
To set her spirit free
The only way that she can find
To leave schenectady
She ’ll never see the sunrise
She ’ll never hear the rain
A sick suburban housewife
She sings this sad refrain
Tomorrow they may find me
Beyond the promise of therapy
I ’ll leave my dreams behind me
A suicide in schenectady
