Light My Candle

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(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?)

You're 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

(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 sixteen)

I'm nineteen but I'm old for my age

I'm just 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

(Here, it) what's that?

(It's a candy bar wrapper)

We could light the candle

What'd you do with 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

You wanna dance?

(With you?)

No, with my father

(I'm Roger)

They call me

They call me Mimi
