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, oh)
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 pureIs 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? (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)
