La Vie Boheme - Original Soundtrack
Who died
Our Akita
Evita
You make fun yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night
Bohemia Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead
Dearly beloved
We gather here to say our goodbyes
irae dies illa)
Here she lies
eleison)
v'yitkadash)
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our gl*** you bet your *** to
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
To days of inspiration playing hooky
Making something out of nothing
The need to express to communicate
To going against the grain
Going insane going mad
To loving tension no pension
To more than one dimension
To starving for attention hating convention
Hating pretension
Not to mention of course hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolut to choice to the Village Voice
To any p***ing fad
To being an us' for once
Instead of a them'
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
Ahhemm
Hey Mister - she's my sister
So that's five miso soup
Four sea**** salad
Three soy burger dinner
Two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls
Ew
It tastes the same
If you close your eyes
An' thirteen orders of fries
Is that in here
Wine and beer
To hand crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga to yogurt to rice and beans and cheese
To leather to dildos to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou
Emotion devotion to causing a commotion
Creation vacation mutual masturbation
Comp***ion to fashion to p***ion when it's new
To Sontag to Sondheim to anything taboo
Gin**erg Dylan Cunningham and Cage
Lenny Bruce Langston Hughes to the stage
To Uta to Buddha Pablo Neruda too
Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow up auntie Em
La vie boheme
Sisters
We're close
Brothers
Bisexuals trisexuals homo sapiens
Carcinogens hallucinogens men Pee Wee Herman
German wine turpentine Gertrude Stein
Antonioni Bertolucci Kurosawa Carmina Burana
To apathy to entropy to empathy ecstasy
Václav Havel The Sex Pistols 8BC
To no shame never playing the fame game
To m******na
To sodomy it's between god and me
To S&M
Waiter waiter waiter
La vie boheme
Waiter
In honor of the death of Bohemia
An impromptu sell-out will commence
Immediately following dinner
Maureen Johnson just back from
Her spectacular one-night engagement
At The Eleventh Street Lot
Will perform Native American tribal chants backwards
Through her vocoder while accompanying
Herself on the electric cello
Which she ain't never studied
And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary
About his inability to hold an erection
On the high holy days
And Mimi Marquez clad only in bubble wrap
Will perform her famous lawn chair handcuff dance
To the sounds of iced tea being stirred
And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet
Evocative song
That doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz
Angel Dumott Schunard will model
The latest fall fashions from Paris
While accompanying herself
On the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub
And Collins will recount his exploits as an anarchist
Including the tale of his successful reprogramming
Of the M I T virtual reality equipment
To self-destruct as it broadcast the words
Actual reality act up fight AIDS
Excuse me did I do something wrong
I get invited then ignored all night long
I've been trying I'm not lying
No one's perfect I've got baggage
Life's too short babe time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine
I should tell you
I've got baggage too
I should tell you
Baggage wine and beer
AZT break
You
Me you
Mimi
