Light The Candle Lyrics

Light The Candle lyrics

Roger



What'd you forget?







Mimi



Got a light?







Roger



I know you? -- You're --



You're shivering







Mimi



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?







Roger



Nothing



Your hair in the moonlight



You look familiar



Can you make it?







Mimi



Just haven't eaten much today



At least the room stopped spinning.



Anyway.What?







Roger



Nothing



Your smile reminded me of -







Mimi



I always remind people of - who is she?







Roger



She died.Her name was April







Mimi



It's out again



Sorry about your friend



Would you light my candle?







Roger



Well -







Mimi



Yeah. Ow







Roger



Oh, the wax - it's







Mimi



Dripping!I like it - between my --







Roger



Fingers.I figured...



Oh, well.Goodnight.



(Mimi exits; then knocks again)



It blew out again?







Mimi



No - I think that I dropped my stash







Roger



I know I've seen you out and about



When I used to go out



Your candle's out







Mimi



I'm illin' -



I had it when I walked in the door



It was pure - 



Is it on the floor?







Roger



The floor?







Mimi



They say I have the best ass below 14th street



Is it true?







Roger



What?







Mimi



you're staring again.







Roger



Oh no.



I mean you do -- have a nice --



I mean -- You look familiar







Mimi



Like your dead girlfriend?







Roger



Only when you smile.



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







Mimi



Do you go to the cat scratch club



That's where I work - I dance - help me look







Roger



Yes!



They used to tie you up -







Mimi



It's a living







Roger



I didn't recognize you



Without the handcuffs







Mimi



We could light the candle



Oh won't you light the candle







Roger



Why don't you forget that stuff



You look like you're sixteen







Mimi



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



I'm just born to be bad







Roger



I once was born to be bad



I used to shiver like that







Mimi



I have no heat - I told you







Roger



I used to sweat







Mimi



I got a cold







Roger



Uh huh



I used to be a junkie







Mimi



But now and then I like to --







Roger



Uh huh







Mimi



Feel good







Roger



Here it -- um --







Mimi



What's that?







Roger



Candy bar wrapper







Mimi



We could light the candle



What'd you do with my candle?







Roger



That was my last match







Mimi



Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon







Roger



Maybe it's not the moon at all



I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street







Mimi



Bah humbug ... Bah humbug







Roger



Cold hands







Mimi



Yours too.



Big.Like my father's



You wanna dance?







Roger



With you?







Mimi



No - with my father







Roger



I'm Roger







Mimi



They call me



They call me Mimi
