Ten lonely people
Pretending they're fine;
One slashed his wrists,
And then there were nine.
Nine lonely people,
All filled with hate;
One injected too much,
And then there were eight.
Eight lonely people,
Dreaming of Heaven;
One smashed up his car,
And then there were seven.
Seven lonely people,
Reeling from life's evil tricks;
One swallowed some pills,
And then there were six.
Six lonely people,
Struggling to survive;
One drowned at sea,
And then there were five.
Five lonely people,
Craving for more;
One hung himself,
And then there were four.
Four lonely people,
Depressed as can be;
One leapt off a cliff,
And then there were three.
Three lonely people,
With nothing to do;
One burnt to death,
And then there were two.
Two lonely people,
All joy and hope gone;
One murdered the other,
And then there was one.
One final person,
Left all alone;
He blew his brains out,
And then there were none.
