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 'bout 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!

What's that?

Oh, 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
