Light My Candle
[ROGER & MIMI]
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

[MIMI]
Would you light my candle?

[ROGER & MIMI]
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
[MIMI]
Would you light my candle?

[ROGER & MIMI]
Well...
Yeah. Ow!
Oh, the wax it's...
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
Uhh, I'm illin', I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure; is it on the floor?
The floor?
They say 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
[MIMI]
We could light the candle
Oh, won't you light the candle?

[ROGER & MIMI]
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
Here it, um...
What's that?
Candy bar wrapper

[MIMI]
We could light the candle
Oh, what'd you do with my candle?
[ROGER & MIMI]
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

[MIMI]
They call me
They call me, Mimi!
