Light My Candle Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

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?
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 I have the best ass below 14th street
Is it true?

What?

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
Help me look

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 19

I′m 19
But I'm old for my age
I was 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 it is
What′s that?
Candy bar wrapper

We could light the candle
Oh, what'd you do to 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
D′you wanna dance?
With you?
With my father
I'm Roger

They call me, they call me Mimi
