William Finn - In the Middle of the Room (Part I) lyrics

[GORDON] Here I sit in the middle of the room I don't throw a fit And I don't start crying Nurses flit as they fiddle in the room It's a damn charade that I can't abide Froggy came, froggy went I resent his appearance Slicing veins, tricky sh**! That is what he said! Fact remains I could soon be dead In the middle of my gloom In the middle of my fright In the middle of the room In the middle of the night [MIMI] Here I stand in the middle of the road [GORDON] In the middle of the room [MIMI] And I'm waiting for a car [GORDON] And I'm waiting for a shot [MIMI] To come along and k** me [GORDON] Nurse, please! [MIMI] People ask why I'm standing in the road [GORDON] I'm sitting in the room [MIMI] And I say because [GORDON] I'm afraid of what I've got [MIMI] I'm frightened he will die [GORDON] I'll die [GORDON/MIMI] k** me please, straight ahead Make me dead, get it over with [MIMI] I just called to tell you everything's gonna be alright [GORDON] Ma, you sound foolish [MIMI] Mother will protect Mother's gonna fix things Anything that's wrecked Mother's gonna make things- [GORDON] Mother, please! Say goodbye Ma, a heart to heart When I die, you can't fall apart [MIMI] What a stupid thing to say Rather stab me with a knife What an ignorant display In the middle of your life The middle of your In the middle of your life [GORDON] It is not the middle of my life, mother! I'm dying [MIMI] You are too young to die. I will see you tomorrow
