Highlights Songs
MARK
How do you document real life
When real life is getting more
Like fiction each day
Headlines -- bread-lines
Blow my mind
And now this deadline
"Eviction -- or pay"
Rent!
ROGER
How do you write a song
When the chords sound wrong
Though they once sounded right and rare
When the notes are sour
Where is the power
You once had to ignite the air
MARK
And we're hungry and frozen
ROGER
Some life that we've chosen
TOGETHER
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent
MARK
We light candles
ROGER
How do you start a fire
When there's nothing to burn
And it feels like something's stuck in your flue
MARK
How can you generate heat
When you can't feel your feet
BOTH
And they're turning blue!
MARK
You light up a mean blaze
(ROGER grabs one of his own posters)
ROGER
With posters-
(MARK grabs old manuscripts)
MARK
And screenplays
ROGER & MARK
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent
(Lights go down on the loft and go up on JOANNE JEFFERSON, who's
at the pay phone)
JOANNE
(On phone)
Don't screen, Maureen
It's me -- Joanne
Your substitute production manager
Hey hey hey! (Did you eat?)
Don't change the subject Maureen
But darling -- you haven't eaten all day
You won't throw up
You won't throw up
The digital delay ---
Didn't blow up (exactly)
There may have been one teeny tiny spark
You're not calling Mark
COLLINS
How do you stay on your feet
When on every street
It's 'trick or treat'
(And tonight it's 'trick')
'Welcome back to town'
Oh, I should lie down
Everything's brown
And uh -- oh
I feel sick
MARK
(At the window)
Where is he?
COLLINS
Getting dizzy
(He collapses.)
MARK & ROGER
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent
(MARK and ROGER stoke the fire. Crosscut to BENNY's Range Rover)
BENNY
(On cellular phone)
Alison baby -- you sound sad
I don't believe those two after everything I've done
Ever since our wedding I'm dirt -- They'll see
I can help them all out in the long run
(Three locales: JOANNE at the pay phone, MARK and ROGER in their
loft, and COLLINS on the ground. The following is sung simultaneously)
BENNY
Forces are gathering
Forces are gathering
Can't turn away
Forces are gathering
COLLINS
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh-- I can't think
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh-- I need a drink
MARK (reading from a script page)
"The music ignites the night with passionate fire"
JOANNE
Maureen -- I'm not a theatre person
ROGER
"The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit"
JOANNE
Could never be a theatre person
MARK
Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground
JOANNE (realizing she's been cut off)
Hello?
MARK & ROGER
And feel the heat of the future's glow
JOANNE
Hello?
(The phone rings in the loft. MARK picks it up)
MARK
(On phone)
Hello? Maureen?
--Your equipment won't work?
Okay, all right, I'll go!
MARK & HALF THE COMPANY
How do you leave the past behind
When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart
It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out
Till you're torn apart
Rent!
ROGER & OTHER HALF OF COMPANY
How can you connect in an age
Where strangers, landlords, lovers
Your own blood cells betray
ALL
What binds the fabric together
When the raging, shifting winds of change
Keep ripping away
BENNY
Draw a line in the sand
And then make a stand
ROGER
Use your camera to spar
MARK
Use your guitar
ALL
When they act tough - you call their bluff
MARK & ROGER
We're not gonna pay
MARK & ROGER W/HALF THE COMPANY
We're not gonna pay
MARK & ROGER W/OTHER HALF OF COMPANY
We're not gonna pay
ALL
Last year's rent
This year's rent
Next year's rent
Rent rent rent rent rent
We're not gonna pay rent
ROGER & MARK
'Cause everything is rent

One song Glory One song Before I go Glory One song to leave behind Find one song One last refrain Glory From the pretty boy front man Who wasted opportunity One song He had the world at his feet Glory In the eyes of a young girl A young girl Find glory Beyond the cheap colored lights One song Before the sun sets Glory - on another empty life Time flies - time dies Glory - One blaze of glory One blaze of glory - glory Find Glory In a song that rings true Truth like a blazing fire An eternal flame Find One song A song about love Glory From the soul of a young man A young man Find The one song Before the virus takes hold Glory Like a sunset One song To redeem this empty life Time flies And then - no need to endure anymore Time dies (ROGER is interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. It is MIMI MARQUEZ, a beautiful stranger from downstairs) The door (ROGER crosses to the door)

GLÓRIA Um som Glória Um som Antes do fim Glória Para deixar pra trás Achar... um som Mais um refrão Glória Do garoto bonito Que jogou fora sua vez Um som Quem teve o mundo ao seus pés Glória No olhar de uma linda... jovem Achar... Glória Além das luzes banais Um som Antes da noite Glória. De uma vida tão comum Viver... Morrer Glória... A luz da... Glória... A luz da... Glória...Glória Achar Glória Em uma canção Que seja verdadeira Como uma paixão Achar Um som Uma canção de amor Glória Do coração de um jovem... Um jovem... Achar Um som Antes que o vírus se espalhe Glória Como o pôr-do-sol Um som Pra salvar uma vida a mais Viver... E assim aprender a aceitar o final Morrer... (ROGER is interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. It is MIMI MARQUEZ, a beautiful stranger from downstairs) - "a porta" (ROGER crosses to the door) |

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 ...

MIMI No -- with my father ROGER I'm Roger MIMI They call me They call me Mimi (They come extremely close to a kiss. MIMI reaches into his pocket, nabs the stash, waves it in front of his face, and makes a sexy exit) |

ANGEL It was my lucky day today on Avenue A When a lady in a limousine drove my way She said, "Dahling be a dear haven't slept in a year I need your help to make my neighbor's yappy dog disappear" "This Akita-Evita just won't shut up I believe if you play non-stop that pup Will breathe its very last high-strung breath I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death" Today for you - tomorrow for me Today for you - tomorrow for me We agreed on a fee - A thousand dollar guarantee Tax-free - and a bonus if I trim her tree Now who could foretell that it would go so well But sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell After an hour - Evita - in all her glory On the window ledge of that 23rd story Like Thelma & Louise did when they got the blues Swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews Today for you - tomorrow for me Today for you - tomorrow for me (ANGEL does a fabulous drum and dance solo) Then back to the street where I met my sweet Where he was moaning and groaning on the cold concrete The nurse took him home for some mercurochrome And I dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet Sing it!

HOJE POR VOCÊ (O solo de Angel no primeiro Ato) ANGEL Hoje por você - amanhã por mim Today for you - tomorrow for me COLLINS Vocês têm que ouvir essa batida MARK Você achou "isso" na avenida?? ANGEL A sorte veio me encontrar na avenida A Uma dama numa limousine quis me falar E disse: "Baby, por favor, é impossível dormir Se a cadela do vizinho não parar de latir" "Essa Akita-Evita não cala a boca. Se você tocar "non-stop" a cachorra louca Vai morrer asfixiada, aloprada e rouca. Dinheiro não é problema eu te garanto, fofa!"

(The lot. JOANNE is reexamining the cable connections for the
umpteenth time)
MARK
And so into the abyss...The lot. Where a small stage is partially set up
JOANNE
(playing with some wires)
"Line in"...
I went to Harvard for this?
MARK
Close on Mark's nose dive
JOANNE
"Line out"...
MARK
Will he get out of here alive...?
(JOANNE notices MARK approaching)
JOANNE
Mark?
MARK
Hi
JOANNE
I told her not to call you
MARK
That's Maureen
But can I help since I'm here
JOANNE
I hired an engineer
MARK
Great!
Well, nice to have met you
JOANNE
Wait!
She's three hours late
The samples won't delay
But the cable
MARK
There's another way
Say something - anything
JOANNE (into the mike)
Test - one, two three
MARK
Anything but that
JOANNE
This is weird
MARK
It's weird
JOANNE
Very weird
MARK
Fuckin' weird
JOANNE
I'm so mad
That I don't know what to do
Fighting with microphones
Freezing down to my bones
And to top it all off
I'm with you
MARK
Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?
JOANNE
As a matter of fact
MARK
Honey, I know this act
It's called the 'Tango Maureen'
The Tango Maureen
It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round
As she keeps you dangling
JOANNE
You're wrong
MARK
Your heart she is mangling
JOANNE
It's different with me
MARK
And you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound
JOANNE
I think I know what you mean
BOTH
The Tango Maureen
MARK
Has she ever pouted her lips
And called you 'Pookie'
JOANNE
Never
MARK
Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?
JOANNE
This is spooky
Did you swoon when she walked through the door?
MARK
Every time - so be cautious
JOANNE
Did she moon over other boys?
MARK
More than moon
JOANNE
I'm getting nauseous
(They begin to dance, with MARK leading)
MARK
Where'd you learn to tango?
JOANNE
With the French Ambassador's daughter in her dorm room at Miss Porter's
And you?
MARK
With Nanette Himmelfarb. The Rabbi's daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish
Community Center
(They switch, and JOANNE leads)
It's hard to do this backwards
JOANNE
You should try it in heels!
She cheated
MARK
She cheated
JOANNE
Maureen cheated
MARK
Fuckin' cheated
JOANNE
I'm defeated
I should give up right now
MARK
Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might
JOANNE
I'd fall for her still anyhow
BOTH
When you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of romance
Make you fall
MARK
So you think, 'Might as well'
JOANNE
"Dance a tango to hell"
BOTH
At least I'll have tangoed at all
The Tango Maureen
Gotta dance till your diva is through
You pretend to believe her
Cause in the end you can't leave her
But the end it will come
Still you have to play dumb
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue
MARK
Why do we love when she's mean?
JOANNE
And she can be so obscene
MARK
Try the mike
JOANNE
My Maureen (reverb: een, een, een...)
MARK
Patched
JOANNE
Thanks
MARK
You know I feel great now!
JOANNE
I feel lousy
(The pay phone rings. MARK hands it to JOANNE)
Honey, we're... (pause) Pookie?!
You never call me Pookie...
Forget it, we're patched
(She hangs up, looks at MARK)
BOTH
The Tango Maureen
(ANGEL and COLLINS attend an AIDS Life Support group. PAUL, the
support leader, sits on the downstage railing above. GORDON, one of
the members of the group, is standing downstage left, facing the
audience. As the mebers enter, they introduce themselves and form a
semicircle. Note: The names of the support group members should
change every night and should honor actual friends of the compnay who
have died of AIDS)
STEVE

GORDON

ANGEL
Hi, I'm Angel
COLLINS
Tom. Collins
PAUL
I'm Paul. Let's begin
ALL
There's only us
There's only this..
(MARK blusters in noisily)
MARK
Sorry ... Excuse me ... oops
PAUL
And you are?
MARK
Oh - I'm not
I'm just here to
I don't have
I'm here with
Um - Mark
Mark - I'm Mark
Well - this is quite an operation
PAUL
Sit down Mark
We'll continue the affirmation
ALL
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
GORDON
Excuse me Paul - I'm having a problem with this
This credo - My T-cells are low
I regret that news, okay?
PAUL
Alright
But Gordon - How do you feel today?
GORDON
What do you mean?
PAUL
How do you feel today?
GORDON
Okay
PAUL
Is that all?
GORDON
Best I've felt all year
PAUL
Then why choose fear?
GORDON
I'm a New Yorker
Fear's my life
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know
GORDON & ROGER (who sings from his loft)
Because reason says I should have died
Three years ago
ALL
No other road
No other way
No day but today
MIMI
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger"
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up - life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight (meow)
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight
(MIMI makes her way to ROGER's door and ends the song in front of
him.)
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight
(The loft - MIMI plants a huge kiss on ROGER, who recoils)
ROGER
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl hey
The door is that way
You better go you know
The fire's out anyway
Take your powder take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should no!
Another time another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance
It'd be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day
MIMI
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today
ROGER
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead ain't never ever gonna start
Another time another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day
MIMI
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today
(Lights slowly fade up on the Life Support group)
MIMI & OTHERS
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
ROGER
Control your temper
She doesn't see
Who says that there's a soul?
Just let me be
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
The fire's out anyway
ALL
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
ROGER
Take your powder, take your candle
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day
(MIMI and the Life Support group members exit. One person, STEVE,
remains at stage right, above)
(Various locations)
STEVE
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
GROUP #1
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
GROUP #2
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
GROUP #3
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
GROUP #4
Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
(ROGER puts on his jacket and exits the loft)
MARK
I'll meet you at the show
I'll try and convince Roger to go
(MARK exits)
ANGEL
Alone at last
COLLINS
He'll be back, I guarantee
ANGEL
I've been hearing violins all night
COLLINS
Anything to do with me? Are we a thing?
ANGEL
Darling... we're everything!
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover I'll cover you
COLLINS
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there- I'll cover you
BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life be my life
(They do a short dance)
Just slip me on
I'll be your tenant
Wherever whatever I'll be your coat
ANGEL
You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle
COLLINS
No you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat
BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
COLLINS
So with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
ANGEL
If you're cold
And you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
COLLINS
When you're worn out
And tired
When your heart has expired
BOTH
Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you
ROGER
I should tell you I'm disaster
I forget how to begin it
MIMI
Let's just make this part go faster
I have yet to be in it
I should tell you
ROGER
I should tell you
MIMI
I should tell you
ROGER
I should tell you
MIMI
I should tell I blew the candle out
Just to get back in
ROGER
I'd forgotten how to smile
Until your candle burned my skin
MIMI
I should tell you
ROGER
I should tell you
MIMI
I should tell you
BOTH
I should tell
Well, here we go
Now we-
MIMI
Oh no
ROGER
I know this something is
Here goes
MIMI
Here goes
ROGER
Guess so
It's starting to
Who knows?
MIMI
Who knows
BOTH
Who knows where
Who goes there
Who knows
Here goes
Trusting desire starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging a shoulder, a leap begins
Stinging and older, asleep on pins
So here we go
Now we
ROGER
Oh no
MIMI
I know
ROGER
Oh no
BOTH
Who knows where who goes there
Here goes here goes
Here goes here goes
Here goes here goes

MIMI Without you The ground thaws The rain falls The grass grows Without you The seeds root The flowers bloom The children play The stars gleam The poets dream The eagles fly Without you The earth turns The sun burns But I die Without you Without you The breeze warms The girl smiles The cloud moves Without you The tides change The boys run The oceans crash The crowds roar The days soar The babies cry Without you The moon glows The river flows But I die Without you ROGER The world revives MIMI Colors renew BOTH But I know blue Only blue Lonely blue Within me, blue Without you MIMI Without you The hand gropes The ear hears The pulse beats ROGER Without you The eyes gaze The legs walk The lungs breathe BOTH The mind churns The heart yearns The tears dry Without you Life goes on But I'm gone Cause I die Without you MIMI Without you ROGER Without you BOTH Without you |
SEM VOCÊ MIMI Sem você Se chove A grama Vai crescer Sem você Sementes e flores Renascem O sol cai, Sonhar porque Se o despertar é Sem você Os astros Se movem Mas eu morro Sem você Sem você A brisa Aquece As nuvens Sem você Os rios E os mares Se encontram Os povos Serão mais o que O mundo faz Sem você A lua O que vai fazer? Se eu morro Sem você ROGER O mundo gira MIMI As cores vibram OS DOIS E eu fico só Triste e só Sempre só Só porque estou Sem você MIMI Sem você Há tato, Olfato e pulso. ROGER: Sem você Observo Avanço, Respiro OS DOIS A alma, Agora, Só chora Sem você A vida Caminha Mas morro Sem você. MIMI Sem você ROGER Sem você OS DOIS Sem você |
MARK
"Hi, Mark Cohen for Buzzline...Back to you Alexi. Coming up, vampire
welfare queens who are compulsive bowlers."
Oh God, what am I doing?
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
(Lights up on ROGER)
ROGER
The filmmaker cannot see
MARK
And the songwriter cannot hear
ROGER
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
MARK
Angel's voice is in my ear
ROGER
Just tighten those shoulders
MARK
Just clench your jaw till you frown
ROGER
Just don't let go
BOTH
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion - I rent
MARK
What was it about that night
ROGER
What was it about that night
BOTH
Connection- in an isolating age
MARK
For once the shadows gave way to light
ROGER
For once the shadows gave way to light
BOTH
For once I didn't disengage
(MARK goes to the pay phone and dials)
MARK
Angel I hear you I hear it
I see it I see it
My film!
ROGER
Mimi I see you I see it
I hear it- I hear it
My song
MARK (on the phone)
Alexi--Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
I quit
ROGER
One song glory
Mimi
Your eyes
BOTH
Dying in America
At the end of the millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
(Blackout)

ROGER Your eyes As we said our goodbyes Can't get them out of my mind And I find I can't hide From your eyes The ones that took me by surprise The night you came into my life Where there's moonlight I see your eyes (Band takes over) How'd I let you slip away When I'm longing so to hold you Now I'd die for one more day 'Cause there's something I should have told you Yes there's something I should have told you When I looked into your eyes Why does distance make us wise? You were the song all along And before this song dies I should tell you I should tell you I have always loved you You can see it in my eyes (We hear Musetta's Theme, played correctly and passionately. MIMI's head falls to the side and her arm drops limply off the edge of the table) Mimi! |
SEU OLHAR ROGER Seu olhar Quando eu quis me encontrar E eu não pude esquecer Em mim ficou não se apagou Seu olhar Aquele que foi capaz de enfeitiçar Na noite em que eu te conheci Quando a lua veio te olhar (a banda entra) Como deixei você partir Quando eu mais queria Era estar com você Pois ha algo pra dizer Há algo pra dizer Se recordo seu olhar Porque ele me faz pensar Hoje você é a canção Que declara o seu final Eu devia te dizer Que eu vou sempre te amar Você vê no meu olhar (We hear Musetta's Theme, played correctly and passionately. MIMI's head falls to the side and her arm drops limply off the edge of the table) Mimi! |
