Title: Space Monkey
ORIGINAL
LYRIC
Comments: Inspired by reading the segment about the Fainting game (a.k.a. "Space Monkey" and various other names) at CBC News: the fifth estate. It's a extremely sad occurrence. (link)

And it's all in fun
Oh what dangerous fun
It's the thrill and pure exhilaration
That chases logic out of my mind

It starts with a dare, a playful dare
And not wanting to be a scaredy-cat
I let clammy hands close upon my throat

Almost scared, oh terribly scared
But I don't want to be called a sissy
And my reward is the light-headed feeling of bliss

And it's all in fun
Oh what dangerous fun
It's the excitement of looking Fate in the eye
That chases logic out of my mind

It becomes like a drug, an addicting drug
Where space monkey is its deadly name
And I am my own selfish dealer

Then one day, oh one fateful day
I fall unconscious within my ecstasy
Letting the guillotine descend upon my neck

And it's all in fun
Oh what dangerous fun
It's the rush of disappearing from the world
That chases logic out of my mind

In the end...

I am the victim, the unknowing victim
Too careless in my stupid actions
Forcing family and friends to suffer

And I was supposed to have a future
It wasn't supposed to end like this

But it was all in fun
Oh what dangerous fun
It took my life prematurely
And there is no one else to blame
