MIMI (to ROGER) It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car? ROGER It's true -- I'm leaving now for Santa Fe It's true you're with this yuppie scum? BENNY You said you'd never speak to him again MIMI Not now MAUREEN Who said that you have any say In who she says things to at all? ROGER Yeah! JOANNE Who said that you should Stick your nose in other people's ... MAUREEN Who said I was talking to you? JOANNE We used to have this fight each night MARK Calm down JOANNE She'd never admit I existed MARK Everyone please! MIMI He was the same way -- he was always "Run away -- hit the road Don't commit" -- you're full of shit JOANNE She's in denial MIMI He's in denial JOANNE Didn't give an inch When I gave a mile MARK Come on MIMI I gave a mile ROGER Gave a mile to who? MARK AND BENNY Come on guys chill! MIMI AND JOANNE I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had Someone to live for -- unafraid to say I love you ROGER All your words are nice Mimi But love's not a three way street You'll never share real love Until you love yourself -- I should know COLLINS You all said you'd be cool today So please -- for my sake... I can't believe he's gone (to ROGER) I can't believe you're going I can't believe this family must die Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree ALL I can't believe this is goodbye MARK I hear there are great restaurants out west ROGER Some of the best. How could she? SongtexteMARK How could you let her go? ROGER You just don't know ... How could we lose Angel? MARK Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain At least now if you try -- Angel's death won't be in vain ROGER His death is in vain MARK Are you insane? There so much to care about There's me -- there's Mimi ROGER Mimi's got her baggage, too MARK So do you ROGER Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do MARK A friend ROGER But who, Mark, are you? "Mark has got his work" They say "Mark lives for his work" And "Mark's in love with his work" Mark hides in his work MARK But from what? ROGER From facing your failure, facing your loneliness Facing the fact you live a lie Yes, you live a lie -- tell you why You're always preaching not to be numb When that's how you thrive You pretend to create and observe When you really detach from feeling alive MARK Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive ROGER Poor baby MARK Mimi still loves Roger Is Roger really jealous Or afraid that Mimi's weak ROGER Mimi did look pale MARK Mimi's gotten thin Mimi's running out of time Roger's running out the door ROGER No more! Oh no! I've gotta go MARK Hey, for somebody who's always been let down Who's heading out of town? ROGER For someone who longs for a community of his own, Who's with his camera, alone? (ROGER takes a step to go, then stops, turns.) I'll call I hate the fall (ROGER turns to go and sees MIMI.) You heard? MIMI Every word You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees You don't want to watch me die I just came to say Goodbye, love Goodbye, love Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye MIMI Just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye! ROGER Glory One blaze of Glory Have to find... (ROGER exits. BENNY returns. MIMI steps away.) MIMI Please don't touch me Understand I'm scared I need to go away MARK I know a place -- a clinic BENNY A rehab? MIMI Maybe -- could you? BENNY I'll pay MIMI Goodbye love Goodbye love Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye Just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye love Hello disease Aus Songtexte Mania
