Angel
Hi, I'm Angel.

Collins
Tom. Collins.

Paul
I'm Paul. Let's begin

All
There's only us
There's only this ...

Mark Sorry ... Excuse me ... oops

Paul
And you are?

Mark
Oh - I'm not -
I'm just here to -
I don't have -
I'm here with -
Um - Mark
Mark - I'm Mark
Well - this is quite an operation

Paul
Sit down Mark
We'll continue the affirmation

All
Forget regret or life is yours to miss

Gordon
Excuse me Paul - I'm having a problem with this
This credo - My T-cells are low -
I regret that news, okay?

Paul
Alright
But Gordon - How do you feel today?

Gordon
What do you mean?

Paul How do you feel today?

Gordon
Okay

Paul
Is that all?

Gordon
Best I've felt all year

Paul
Then why choose fear?

Gordon
I'm a New Yorker!
Fear's my life!
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know

Gordon & Roger
Because reason says I should have died
Three years ago

All
No other road
No other way
No day but today


Out Tonight

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)
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of
Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight


Another Day

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 - goodbye, 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
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me - why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago - you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead - ain't never ever gonna start
Another time - another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day

Mimi
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today

Mimi & Others
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today

All
No day but today
No day but today

No day but today

No day but today

No day but today

Roger
Control your temper
She doesn't see
Who says that there's a soul
Just let me be
Who do you think you are?


Barging in on me and my
guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
The fire's out anyway

Roger
Take your powder, take your candle
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile
Your silhouette
Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day


Will I?

Steve
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

Group #1
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

Group #2
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

Group #3
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

Group #4
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?


On the Street

Three Homeless People
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing -
Out of town
Santa Fe

Squeegieman
Honest living, man!
Feliz Navidad!

Homeless Person
Evening, officers

Mark
Smile for Ted Koppel, Officer Martin!

Homeless Person
And a merry Christmas to your family

Cops
Right!!

Blanket Person
Who the fuck do you think you are?
I don't need no goddamn help
From some bleeding heart cameraman
My life's not for you to
Make a name for yourself on!

Angel
Easy Sugar, easy
He was just trying to --

Blanket Person
Just trying to use me to kill his guilt
It's not that kind of movie, honey
Let's go - this lot is full of
Motherfucking artists
Hey artist
You gotta dollar?
I thought not


Sante Fe

Angel
New York City -

Mark
Uh huh

Angel
Center of the universe

Collins
Sing it girl -

Angel
Times are shitty
But I'm pretty sure they can't get worse

Mark
I hear you

Angel
It's a comfort to know
When you're singing the hit the road blues
That anywhere else you could possibly go
After New York would be a pleasure cruise

Collins
Now you're talking
Well, I'm thwarted by a metaphysic puzzle
And I'm sick of grading papers - that I know
And I'm shouting in my sleep, I need a muzzle
All this misery pays no salary, so
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Oh sunny Santa Fe would be nice
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
And leave this to the roaches and mice

Collins
Oh--oh

All
Oh--

Angel
You teach?

Collins
- I teach - computer age philosophy
But my students would rather watch TV

Angel
America

All
America!

Collins
You're a sensitive aesthete
Brush the sauce onto the meat
You could make the menu sparkle with rhyme
You could drum a gentle drum
I could seat guests as they come
Chatting not about Heidegger, but wine!
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Our labors would reap financial gains

All
Gains, gains, gains

Collins
We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
And save from devastation our brains

Homeless
Save our brains

All
We'll pack up all our junk and fly so far away
Devote ourselves to projects that sell
We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Forget this cold Bohemian hell
Oh--

All
Oh--

Collins
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?
You know, tumbleweeds...prairie dogs...
Yeah


I'll Cover You

Angel
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you

Collins
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there - I'll cover you

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 - be my life
Just slip me on
I'll be your tenant
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat

Angel
You'll 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
So with a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you

With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you

When you're wornout
and tired


When your heart has
expired

Angel

If you're cold
And you're lonely

You've got one nickel only

With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you

With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you

Both
Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you

Over the Moon

Maureen
Last night I had a dream. I found myself in a desert
called Cyberland. It was hot. My canteen had sprung
a leak and I was thirsty. Out of the abyss walked a
cow - Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk. In Cyberland,
we only drink Diet Coke."
She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
"They've closed everything real down ... like barns,
troughs, performance spaces ... and replaced it all
with lies and rules and virtual life.
But there is a way out ...

Backups
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of faith

Maureen
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
I gotta get out of here! It's like I'm being tied
to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed
in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff
by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! - I've gotta find a way

Maureen
"To jump over the moon
Only thing to do is
jump over the moon"
Backups
Leap of faith etc.

Maureen
Then a little bulldog entered. His name (we have
learned) was Benny. And although he once had
principles, he abandoned them to live as a lap dog
to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.
"That's bull," he said. "Ever since the cat took
up the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy. And the dish
and the spoon were evicted from the table - and
eloped ... she's had trouble with that milk and the
moon ever since. Maybe it's a female thing. 'Cause
who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?... Walls ain't
so bad. The dish and the spoon for instance. They
were down on their luck - knocked on my doghouse door.
I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to
China!" "The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to
me. "A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she asked.
Parched. "Have some milk." I lowered myself beneath
her and held my mouth to her swollen udder and sucked
the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted."
"Climb on board," she said. And as a harvest moon
rose over Cyberland, we reared back and sprang into a
gallop. Leaping out of orbit!!!

Maureen
I awoke singing
Only thing to do
Only thing to do is jump
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Over the moon - over the
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with me.
(She encourages the audience to moo with her. They do)
Thank you.


La Vie Boheme

Restaurant Man
No please no
Not tonight please no
Mister - can't you go -
Not tonight - can't have a scene

Roger
What?

Restaurant Man
Go, please go;
You - Hello, sir -
I said, "No"
Important customer

Mark
What am I - just a blur?

Restaurant Man
You sit all night - you never buy!

Mark

Benny
I would like to propose a toast
To Maureen's noble try
It went well

Maureen
Go to hell

Benny
Was the yuppie scum stomped
Not counting the homeless
How many tickets weren't comped

Roger
Why did Muffy --

Benny
Alison

Roger
Miss the show?

Benny
There was a death in the family
If you must know

Angel
Who died?

Benny
Our Akita

Benny, Mark, Angel, Collins
Evita

Benny
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 piss on your stoop every night?
Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead

Mark
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes

Collins & Roger
Dies irae - dies illa
Kyrie eleison
Yitgadal v' yitkadash (etc)

Mark
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass - you bet your ass to -

All
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

Mark
To days of inspiration
Playing hookey, making something out of nothing
The need to express -
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike,
Midday past the three piece suits
To fruits - to no absolutes -
To Absolut - to choice -
To the Village Voice -
To any passing fad

Maureen
Is the equipment in a pyramid?

Joanne
It is, Maureen

Maureen
The mixer doesn't have a case
Don't give me that face

Mr. Grey
Ahhemm

Maureen
Hey Mister - she's my sister

Restaurant Man
So that's five miso soup, four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner, two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls

A boy
Ugh

Collins
It tastes the same

Mimi
If you close your eyes

Restaurant Man
And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here?

Wine and beer!

Mimi & Angel
To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou

Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation

Mark
Mucho masturbation

Maureen & Collins
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new

Collins
To Sontag

Angel
To Sondheim

Four People
To anything taboo

Collins & Roger
Ginsberg, Dylan, Cunningham and Cage

Collins
In honor of the death of Bohemia an impromptu salon will
commence immediately following dinner... Mimi Marquez,
clad only in bubble wrap, will perform her famous lawn
chair-handcuff dance to the sounds of iced tea being stirred.

Roger
Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his
inability to hold an erection on high holy days.

Mark
Maureen Johnson, back from her spectacular one-night engagement
at the eleventh street lot, will sing native american tribal
chants backwards through her vocoder, while accompanying herself
on the electric cello - which she has never studied.

Benny
Your new boyfriend doesn't know about us?

Mimi
There's nothing to know

Benny
Don't you think that we should discuss --

Mimi
It was three months ago

Benny
He doesn't act like he's with you

Mimi
We're taking it slow

Benny
Where is he now?

Mimi
He's right -- hmm

Benny
Uh huh

Mimi
Where'd he go?

Mark
Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song.
(Roger picks up a guitar and plays)
That doesn't remind us of "Musetta's Waltz"

Collins
Angel Dumott Schunard will now model the latest fall fashions
from Paris while accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic
pickle tub.

Angel
And Collins will recount his exploits as an anarchist -
including the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T.
virtual reality equipment to self-destruct, as it broadcast
the words:

All
"Actual reality - Act Up - Fight AIDS"

Benny
Check!!

Mimi
Excuse me - did I do something wrong?
I get invited - then ignored - all night long

Roger
I've been trying - I'm not lying
No one's perfect. I've got baggage

Mimi
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

Roger
I should tell you --

Mimi
I've got baggage too

Roger
I should tell you --

Mimi
I got baggage too

Roger
I should tell you --

Both
Baggage - wine --

Others
And beer!

Mimi
AZT break

Roger
You?

Mimi
Me. You?

Roger
Mimi


I Should Tell You

Roger
I should tell you I'm disaster
I forget how to begin it

Mimi
Let's just make this part go faster
I have yet -- to be in it
I should tell you

Roger
I should tell you

Mimi
I should tell you

Roger
I should tell you

Mimi
I should tell I blew the candle out
Just to get back in

Roger
I'd forgotten how to smile
Until your candle burned my skin

Mimi
I should tell you

Roger
I should tell you

Mimi
I should tell you

Both
I should tell
Well, here we go
Now we --

Mimi
Oh no

Roger
I know -- this something is
Here goes --

Mimi
Here goes

Roger
Guess so
It's starting to
-Who knows?

Mimi
Who knows

Both
Who knows where
Who goes there
Who knows
Here goes
Trusting desire - starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging - a shoulder, a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins
So here we go
Now we --

Roger
Oh no

Mimi
I know

Roger
Oh no

Both
Who knows where - who goes there
Here goes - here goes
Here goes - here goes
Here goes - here goes

I want you to be

Maureen
Pookie?

Joanne
And you should see
They've padlocked your building
And they're rioting on Avenue B
Benny called the cops

Maureen
That fuck

Joanne
They don't know what they're doing
The cops are sweeping the lot
But no one's leaving
They're just sitting there, mooing!

All
Yea!!!
To dance!

A girl
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
Muscle spasm, 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 & 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 & 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 BohemeLa vie Boheme

Mark
Anyone out of the mainstream
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone alive - with a sex drive
Tear down the wall
Aren't we all
The opposite of war isn't peace...
It's creation

All
La vie Boheme
Viva la vie Boheme
