MARK

How do you documentry real life

When real life is getting more

Like fiction each day

Headlines -- bread-lines

Blow my mind

And now this deadline

"Eviction -- or pay"

Rent!

ROGER

How do you write a song

When the chords sound wrong

Though they once sounded right and rare

When the notes are sour

Where is the power

You once had to ignite the air

MARK

And we're hungry and frozen

ROGER

Some life that we've chosen

TOGETHER

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent

MIMI

What's the time?

Well it's gotta be close to midnight

My body's talking to me

It says, "Time for danger"

It says "I wanna commit a crime

Wanna be the cause of a fight

Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt

With a stranger"

I've had a knack from way back

At breaking the rules once I learn the games

Get up - life's too quick

I know someplace sick

Where this chick'll dance in the flames

We don't need any money

I always get in for free

You can get in too

If you get in with me

Let's go out tonight

I have to go out tonight

You wanna play?

Let's run away

We won't be back before it's Christmas day

Take me out tonight (meow)

MAUREEN AND JOANNE

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn If Ya Give A Damn then go

Take me baby or leave me

Take me baby

Or leave me

Guess I'm leaving

I'm gone!

ANGEL

You be my king

And I'll be your castle

COLLINS

No you'll be my queen

And I'll be your moat

BOTH

I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

A new lease you are, my love,

On life

All my life

I've longed to discover

Something as true as this is

COLLINS ANGEL

So with a thousand

Sweet kisses

I'll cover you

If you're cold

And you're lonely

With a thousand

Sweet kisses

I'll cover you

You've got one

Nickel only

With a thousand

Sweet kisses

I'll cover you

When you're worn

Out and tired

With a thousand

Sweet kisses

I'll cover you

When your heart

Has expired

BOTH

Oh lover I'll cover you

Oh lover I'll cover you

A GIRL

No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection

Muscle spasms, chiropractors, short careers, eating disorders!

ALL

Film!

MARK

Adventure, tedium, no family, boring locations,

Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money, Hollywood and sleaze!

ALL

Music!

ANGEL

Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation,

Rhythm, feeling, power, harmony, and heavy competition!

ALL

Anarchy!

COLLINS AND MAUREEN

Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions,

Forcing changes, risk, and danger

Making noise and making pleas!

ALL

To faggots, lezzies, dykes, cross dressers too

MAUREEN

To me

MARK

To me

COLLINS AND ANGEL

To me

ALL

To you, and you and you, you and you

To people living with, living with, living with

Not dying from disease

Let he among us without sin

Be the first to condemn

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

MARK

Anyone out of the mainstream

Is anyone in the mainstream?

Anyone alive--with a sex drive

OTHERS

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

MARK

Tear down the wall

Aren't we all?

The opposite of war isn't peace...

It's creation!

ALL

La vie Boheme

MARK

The riot continues. The Christmas tree goes up in flames.

The snow dances. Oblivious, Mimi and Roger share a small,

lovely kiss

ALL

Viva la vie Boheme!

MAUREEN

Only thing

MIMI

Would you light my Candle

COMPANY

In diapers - report cards

In spoke wheels - in speeding tickets

In contracts - dollars

in funerals - in births

In - five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

How do you figure

A last year on Earth?

Figure in love

Figure in love

Figure in love

Measure in love

Seasons of love

Seasons of love

ROGER

Who do you think you are?

Barging in on me and my guitar

Little girl - hey

The door is that way

You better go you know

The fire's out anyway

Take your powder - take your candle

Your sweet whisper

I just can't handle

Well take your hair in the moonlight

Your brown eyes - good-bye, goodnight

I should tell you I should tell you

I should tell you I should -- no!

Another time - Another place

Our temperature would climb

There'd be a long embrace

We'd do another dance

It'd be another play

Looking for romance?

Come back another day

Another day

MIMI

The heart may freeze or it can burn

The pain will ease if I can learn

There is no future

There is no past

I live this moment

As my last

There's only us

There's only this

Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

Roger

Time flies- time dies

Glory- one blaze of glory

One blaze of glory- glory

MARK

Don't breathe too deep

Don't think all day

Dive into work

Drive the other way

That drip of hurt

That pint of shame

Goes away

Just play the game

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're living in America

Leave your conscience at the tone

And when you're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're what you own

ROGER

How'd I let you slip away

When I'm longing so to hold you

Now I'd die for one more day

'Cause there's something I should have told you

Yes there's something I should have told you

When I looked into your eyes

Why does distance make us wise?

You were the song all along

And before this song dies

COLLINS

I've longed to discover

Something as true

As this is

(The following is sung simultaneously.)

JOANNE AND SOLOIST

So with a thousand sweet kisses

I'll cover you with a thousand sweet kisses

I'll cover you with a thousand sweet kisses

I'll cover you with a thousand sweet kisses

I'll cover you

COLLINS

If you're cold and you're lonely

You've got one nickel only

When you're worn out and tired

When your heart has expired

COMPANY

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred -- measure a year

Oh lover I'll cover you

Oh lover I'll cover you

COLLINS AND COMPANY

Oh lover

I'll cover you

Oh lover

COLLINS

I'll cover you
