La Vie Bohème

No, please no
 Not tonight, please no
 Mister, can't you go?
 Not tonight, can't have a scene
 What?
 Go, please go
 You - Hello, sir!
 I said no
 Important customer
 What am I, just a blur?
 You sit all night, you never buy!
 That's a lie, that's a lie!
 I had a tea the other day
 You couldn't pay
 Oh yeah
 Benjamin Coffin III?
 Here?
 Wine and beer!
 The enemy of Avenue A
 And Mr. Grey
 What brings the mogul in his own mind
 To the Life Cafe?
 I would like to propose a toast
 To Maureen's noble try
 It went well?
 Go to Hell
 Why did Muffy-
 Alison
 Missed the show?
 There was a death in the family
 If you must know
 Who died?
 Our Akita
 Evita?
 Mimi, I'm surprised
 A bright and charming girl like you
 Hangs out with these slackers
 Who don't adhere to deals
 They make fun, yet I'm the one
 Attempting to do some good
 Or do you really want a neighborhood
 Where people puke on your stoop every night?
 Bohemia
 Bohemia's a fallacy in your head
 This is Calcutta
 Bohemia is dead
 Dearly beloved
 We gather here to say our goodbyes
 Dies irae, dies illa
 Here she lies
 No one knew her worth
 The late great daughter of Mother Earth
 On this night that we celebrate the birth
 In that little town of Bethlehem
 We raise our glass
 You bet your ass
 To la vie Bohème
 La vie Bohème
 La vie Bohème
 La vie Bohème
 La vie Bohème
 To days of inspiration
 Playing hooky
 Making something (La vie Bohème)
 Out of nothing
 The need to express
 To communicate (La vie Bohème)
 To going against the grain
 Going insane (La vie Bohème)
 Going mad (La vie Bohème)
 To loving tension, no pension
 To more than one dimension (La vie Bohème)
 To starving for attention
 Hating convention
 Hating pretension (La vie Bohème)
 Not to mention, of course
 Hating dear old Mom and Dad (La vie Bohème)
 To riding your bike (La vie Bohème)
 Midday past the three-piece suits (La vie Bohème)
 To fruits
 To no absolute (La vie Bohème)
 To Absolut
 To choice
 To The Village Voice (La vie Bohème)
 To any passing fad
 To being an us, for once
 Instead of a them
 La vie Bohème
 La vie Bohème
 Is the equipment in a pyramid?
 It is, Maureen
 The mixer doesn't have a case
 Don't give me that face
 Ladies
 Hey, Mister
 She's my sister
 To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries
 To yoga
 To yogurt
 To rice and beans and cheese
 To leather
 To latex
 To curry vindaloo
 To huevos rancheros
 And Maya Angelou
 Emotion
 Devotion
 To causing a commotion
 Creation
 Vacation
 Mucho masturbation
 Compassion, to fashion
 To passion
 When it's new
 To Sontag
 To Sondheim
 To anything taboo
 Ginsberg, Dylan
 Cunningham, and Cage
 Lenny Bruce
 Langston Hughes
 To the stage
 To Uta
 To Buddha
 Pablo Neruda, too
 Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
 To blow off Auntie Em
 La vie Bohème
 And wipe the speakers off before you pack
 Yes, Maureen
 Well, hurry back
 Sisters?
 We're close
 Brothers!
 Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens
 Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men
 Pee-wee Herman
 German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
 Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
 Carmina Burana
 To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
 Vaclav Havel
 The Sex Pistols
 8BC
 To no shame, never playing the Fame Game
 To marijuana
 To sodomy
 It's between God and me
 To S & M
 Waiter, waiter!
 La vie Bohème
 This just in
 The mythical land of Bohemia
 Once believed to be dead
 Is now showing shocking signs of life!
 Mimi Marquez
 Takes her lifetime appointment
 As minister of national security and BDSM
 And Mark Cohen is your new secretary of state propaganda
 Oh, thank you
 Please keep it going for the revolutionary wild girl
 Who made tonight possible in the first place
 The reigning queen of Bohemia
 Miss Maureen Johnson!
 Your new boyfriend doesn't know about us
 There's nothing to know
 Don't you think that we should discuss?
 It was three months ago
 And Roger, the unofficial bard of Bohemia
 Will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative love song
 That doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz
 Angel Dumott Schunard takes her rightful place
 As queen of all she surveys
 And beacon of hope in the darkest of days
 And first philosopher Tom Collins
 Will recount his exploits as an
 Anarchist
 Including the tale of the successful reprogramming
 Of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment to
 Self-destruct
 As it broadcasts the words
 "Actual Reality
 ACT UP
 Fight AIDS!"
 Excuse me, did I do something wrong?
 I got invited, then ignored all night long
 I've been trying
 I'm not lying
 No one's perfect
 I've got baggage
 Life's too short, babe
 Time is flying
 I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine
 I should tell you
 I've got baggage too
 Should tell you
 Baggage
 Wine and beer!
 AZT break
 You?
 Me
 You?
 Mimi
