I don't have the lyrics to the Cheers song, but here are the lyrics for
Suicide is Painless from M*A*S*H:

   Through early morning fog I see
   visions of the things to be,
   the pains that are withheld for me.
   I realize and I can see, that

   (Chorus)

   suicide is painless,
   it brings on many changes,
   and I can take or leave it if I please.


2. I try to find a way to make
   all our little joys relate
   without that ever-present hate
   but now I know that it's too late.
   And, (Chorus)

3. The game of life is hard to play,
   I'm going to lose it anyway,
   the losing card I'll someday lay,
   So this is all I have to say,
   that (Chorus)

4. Ths only way to win, is cheat
   and lay it down before I'm beat,
   and to another give a seat
   for that's the only painless feat.
   'Cause (Chorus)

5. The sword of time will pierce our skins,
   it doesn't hurt when it begins
   but as it works it's way on in,
   the pain grows stronger, watch it grin.
   For, (Chorus)

6. A brave man once requested me
   to answer questions that are key,
   is it to be or not to be
   and I replied "Oh, why ask me?"
   'Cause (Chorus)

Pretty uplifting stuff, heh? You should send a copy to net.suicide.
Don't blame me, Mike Altman wrote the lyrics.
