Idina Menzel - La Vie Boheme A lyrics

[Angel] Who died? [Benny] Our Akita [All] Evita [Benny] 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 [Mark] Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes (Dies irae - dies illa) Here she lies (Kyrie eleison) No one knew her worth (Yitgadal v'yitkadash) The late great daughter Of Mother Earth On these nights when we Celebrate the birth In that little town of Bethlehem We raise our gla** You bet your a** to La Vie Boheme [All] La vie Boheme La vie Boheme La vie Boheme La vie Boheme [Mark] 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 pretention 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 pa**ing fad To being an us for once... Instead of a them!! [All] La vie Boheme, La vie Boheme [Mr. Grey] Ahhemm [Maureen] Hey Mister - she's my sister [Waiter] So that's five miso soup Four seaweed salad Three soy burger dinner Two tofu dog platter And one pasta with meatless balls [Rodger] Eww [Collins] It tastes the same [Mimi] If you close your eyes [Waiter] And thirteen orders of fries Is that it here? [All] Wine and beer! [Mimi & Angel] To hand-crafted beers Made in local breweries To yoga To yogurt To rice and beans and cheese To leather To dil*os To curry vindaloo To Huevos Rancheros and Maya Angelou [Maureen & Collins] Emotion Devotion To causing a commotion Creation Vacation [Mark] Mucho masturbation [Maureen & Collins] Compa**ion To fashion To pa**ion when it's new [Collins] To Sontag [Angel] To Sondheim [Girls] To anything taboo [Collins & Rodger] Ginsberg, Dylan Cunnigham and Cage [Collins] Lenny Bruce [Rodger] Langston Hughes [Maureen] To the stage [All] To Uta To Buddha Pablo Neruda, too [Mark & Mimi] Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow To blow off Auntie Em [All] La Vie Boheme [Mr. Grey] Sisters? [Maureen & Joanne] We're close [Angel & Collins] Brothers! [Mark, Angel & Mimi] Bis**uals Tris**uals h*mo-sapiens Carcinogens Hallucinogens Men Pee Wee Herman German wine Turpentine Gertrude Stein Antonioni Bertolucci Kurosawa Carmina Burana [All] To apathy To entropy To empathy Ecstacy Vaclav Havel The Sex Pistols 8BC To no shame Never playing the Fame Game [Collins] To marijuana [All] To sodomy It's between God and me To S & M! [Benny] Waiter, Waiter, Waiter ... Waiter! [All] La Vie Boheme [Collins] In honor of the d**h of Bohemia an impromptu salon 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 [Rodger] And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary About his inability to hold an erection on the high holy days [Mark] 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 (Roger plays a solo) That doesn't remind us of "Musetta's Waltz!" [Collins] Angel Dumott Schunard will model the latest fall fashions from Paris While accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub [Angel] And Collins will recount his exploits as anarchist Including the tale of the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T Virtual reality equipment to self-destruct, as it broadcasts the words: [All] "Actual reality - Act Up - Fight AIDS" [Mimi] Excuse me Did I do something wrong? I get invited Then ignored all night long [Rodger] I've been trying I'm not lying No one's perfect I've got baggage [Mimi] Life's too short, babe, time is flying I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine [Rodger] I should tell you [Mimi] I got baggage too [Rodger] I should tell you [Rodger] Baggage [All] Wine and beer! [Mimi] AZT break [Rodger] You? [Mimi] Me. You? [Rodger] Mimi
