(mom passes out, lynne runs off stage)594

joesph:595

i can't take this no more596

my life it is over597

time to quickly fade598

into that good night599

i have no more to give600

or nothing to ponder601

there will602

be no one ever603

as sweet as this(he pulls out a knife carves in his arm suicide is painless)604

Through early morning fog I see,605

Visions of the things to be,606

The pains that are withheld for me,607

I realize and I can see...608

[REFRAIN]:609

That suicide is painless.610

It brings on many changes.611

And I can take or leave it if I please.612

I try to find a way to make,613

All our little joys relate,614

Without that ever-present hate,615

But now I know that it's too late, and...616

[REFRAIN]617

The game of life is hard to play,618

I'm gonna lose it anyway.619

The losing card I'll someday lay,620

So this is all I have to say.621

[REFRAIN]622

The only way to win is cheat,623

And lay it down before I'm beat,624

And to another give my seat,625

For that's the only painless feat.626

[REFRAIN]627

The sword of time will pierce our skins.628

It doesn't hurt when it begins.629

But as it works its way on in,630

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...631

[REFRAIN]632

A brave man once requested me,633

to answer questions that are key.634

Is it to be or not to be?635

And I replied 'Oh why ask me?'636

[REFRAIN]637

'Cause suicide is painless.638

It brings on many changes.639

And I can take or leave it if I please.640

...And you can do the same thing if you choose.(words by altman) 641
