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

In that little town of Bethlehem

La vie Boheme 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
To being an us for once- instead of a them All

If you close your eyes Restaurant Man
And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here? All

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.
