Last night my darling left me, now life makes no more sense,
But I heard about Charly and so I made my plans.
After my last toilet-session I went to confession
And then I had a beer with my best friend.
I gave the dog to my brother and wrote a letter to my mother:
"Dear mommy, everything went out of hand!
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and his babies."
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And the sign says: "Enter Heaven with Our Ladies"
Ms Karen brings your last beer, your last chance to burp loud,
The metal cup is wired, you'll die without a shout.
Fiona sells the cigarettes, stuffed with dynamite,
You watch her while your head bursts, she’s naked in the light.
So each of Charlie's ladies offers her specialty,
They'll blow away your sorrows, they work to set you free.
But the most wanted dead, is to come to Susan's bed
And to get the poison drink from her hand.
You can slurp it from her tits, then, when you'll get your final itch,
Believe me, you can f*#k her 'till the end...
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and his babies."
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And the sign says: "Enter Heaven with Our Ladies"
Now I'm on my way, on this lovely day, to Mr. Charles' bar,
I see grass, I see trees,
Hear the birds and hear the bees,
The end is not too far...
I'm opening the door, Mr. Charles lets me in
And asks me:"My dear friend, are you ready to begin?
You want to end your life, today Ms Susan is your drive.
Just leave your money here and knock on number 5!"
Oh no, what happens here, something I can't believe,
Oh God, why did you punish me with such pain and grieve?
This Susan ’s not just any girl, no, she's my little darling,
Now I know why she left me, she is working here, for Charly!
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and my baby
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And his last words:
"Never trust your sweet young lady!"
