"Now (It's Just The Gas)"

Now
Do it now
While he's gassing himself to a palpable stupor
The timing's ideal and the moment is super
To ready and fire and blow the sick bastard away

Now
Do it now
Just a flicker of pressure right here on the trigger
And Audrey won't have to put up with that pig for another day

Now
For the girl
Now
For the plant
Now
Yes I will
But I can't


Oh boy, Seymour, I am flying now. Oh, the things we're gonna do to your mouth. Well, I guess I've had about enough of this stuff. I'll just take the mask off now and then --

Hey, Seymour, guess what.
What?
It's stuck.
What?
The mask, it's stuck! I can't get it off. Jesus Christ, I could asphyxiate in here. Hey, Seymour, give me a hand, will you?
Well --
Well? He says, "Well"? Uh, Seymour, I don't think you understand.

Don't be fooled if I should giggle
Like a sappy happy dope
It's just the gas
It's got me high
But don't let that fact deceive you
Any moment I could die

Though I giggle and I chortle
Bear in mind I'm not immortal
Why this whole thing strikes me funny I don't know
'Cause it really is a rotten way to go

What we have here is an ethical dilemma
Unless I help him get the mask removed
He doesn't have a prayer
True the gun was never fired
But the way events transpired
I can finish him with simple laissez-faire

What we have here is a tricky moral problem
(now)
Do I help remove the mask or let him go for lack of air (do it now)
I couldn't shoot him when I tried but the fates are on my side
(no please now)
I can off the guy by staying in the chair

Don't be fooled if I should chuckle
Like hyenas in a zoo
It's just the gas
It turns me on
But don't let my mirth deceive you
Any moment I'll be gone

All my vital signs are failing
'Cause the oxide I'm inhaling
Makes it difficult as hell to catch my breath
Are you dumb or hard of hearing
Or relieved my end is nearing
Are you satisfied
I've laughed myself to

Death
