In The Middle Of The Room

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 shit!

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 my 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 kill me.

Gordon:

Nurse, please!

Mimi:

People ask why I'm standing in the road

Gordon:

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 and Mimi:

Kill me please, straight ahead, make me dead, get it over with.

Mimi:

I just called to tell you every thing's gonna be alright.

Gordon:

Ma, you sound foolish.

Mimi:

Mother will protect, mothers gonna fix things,

anything that's wrecked, mothers 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:

I will see you tomorrow.
