Light My Candle

What'd you forget?

Got a light?

I know you, you're

You're shivering

It's nothing

They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little

Weak on my feet

Would you light my candle?

What are you staring at?

Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

Can you make it?

Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room stopped spinning

Anyway, what?

Nothing

Your smile reminded me of

I always remind people of

Who is she?

She died

Her name was April

It's out again

Sorry about your friend

Would you light my candle?

Well

Yeah? Ow!

Oh, the wax, it's

Dripping! I like it, between my

Fingers, I figured

Oh, well, goodnight

It blew out again?

No, I think that I dropped my stash

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

I'm illin'

I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure

Is it on the floor?

The floor?

They say that I have the best ass

Below 14th Street

Is it true?

What?

You're staring again

Oh no, I mean you do have a nice

I mean, you look familiar

Like your dead girlfriend

Only when you smile

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?

That's where I work, I dance

Yes!

They used to tie you up

It's a living

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

We could light the candle

Oh won't you light the candle?

Why don't you forget that stuff?

You look like you're sixteen

I'm nineteen, but I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

I have no heat, I told you

I used to sweat

I got a cold

Uh huh, I used to be a junkie

But now and then I like to

Uh huh

Feel good

Oh here it

What's that?

It's a candy bar wrapper

We could light the candle

Oh what'd you do with my candle?

That was my last match

Our eyes'll adjust

Thank God for the moon

Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street

Bah humbug, bah humbug

Cold hands

Yours too

Big, like my father's

Do you wanna dance?

With you?

No, with my father

I'm Roger

They call me

They call me Mimi
