I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearin what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say…
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I’d take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it’s turning blue, and you say…
“Sorry” like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid…
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I’m holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground…
It’s all because of you, I’m feeling sad and blue You went away, now my life is just a rainy day And I love you so, how much you’ll never know You’ve gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories, seem to keep haunting me Another love so true That once turned all my gray skies blue But you disappeared Now my eyes are filled with tears And I’m wishing you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you Now that you’re gone I just don’t know what to do
If only you were here You’d wash away my tears The sun would shine once again You’d be mine all mine But in reality, you and I will never be ‘Cause you took your love away from me
Girl,I don’t know what I did To make you leave me But what I do know Is that since you’ve been gone There’s such an emptiness inside I’m wishing you’d come back to me
ROGER
What’d you forget?
(MIMI enters, holding a candle and looking for a match; her electricity
is down, too.)
MIMI
Got a light?
ROGER
I know you? — You’re –
You’re shivering
MIMI
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?
ROGER
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
MIMI
Just haven’t eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?
ROGER
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of –
MIMI
I always remind people of — who is she?
ROGER
She died. Her name was April
MIMI
It’s out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
ROGER
Well –
MIMI
Yeah. Ow!
ROGER
Oh, the wax — it’s –
MIMI
Dripping! I like it — between my –
ROGER
Fingers. I figured…
Oh, well. Goodnight.
It blew out again?
MIMI
No — I think that I dropped my stash
ROGER
I know I’ve seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle’s out
MIMI
I’m illin’ –
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure –
Is it on the floor?
ROGER
The floor?
MIMI
They say I have the best ass below 14th street
Is it true?
ROGER
What?
MIMI
You’re staring again.
ROGER
Oh no.
I mean you do — have a nice –
I mean — You look familiar
MIMI
Like your dead girlfriend?
ROGER
Only when you smile.
But I’m sure I’ve seen you somewhere else –
MIMI
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That’s where I work - I dance
ROGER
Yes!
They used to tie you up –
MIMI
It’s a living
ROGER
I didn’t recognize you
Without the handcuffs
MIMI
We could light the candle
Oh won’t you light the candle?
ROGER
Why don’t you forget that stuff
You look like you’re sixteen
MIMI
I’m nineteen — but I’m old for my age
I’m just born to be bad
ROGER
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that
MIMI
I have no heat — I told you
ROGER
I used to sweat
MIMI
I got a cold
ROGER
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie
MIMI
But now and then I like to –
ROGER
Uh huh
MIMI
Feel good
ROGER
Here it — um –
MIMI
What’s that?
ROGER
It’s a candy bar wrapper
MIMI
We could light the candle
What’d you do with my candle?
ROGER
That was my last match
MIMI
Our eyes’ll adjust, thank God for the moon
ROGER
Maybe it’s not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee’s shooting down the street
MIMI
Bah humbug … Bah humbug
ROGER
Cold hands
MIMI
Yours too.
Big. Like my father’s
You wanna dance?
ROGER
With you?
MIMI
No — with my father
ROGER
I’m Roger
MIMI
They call me
They call me Mimi

這兩天瑟瑟秋雨吹得人頭疼
許久沒有聽到紫晨的歌聲
在這個深秋的早晨聽來格外溫暖
the falling leaves
drift by my window
the falling leaves
of red and gold
i see your lips
the summer kisses
the sunburned hands
i used to hold
since you went away
the days grow long
and soon i’ll hear
old winter’s song
but i miss you most of all
my darling
when autumn leaves
start to fall
since you went away
the days grow long
and soon i’ll hear
old winter’s song
but i miss you most of all
my darling
when autumn leaves
start to fall

這是一部氣勢恢宏的新世紀交響樂
就是效果做得麻麻地……
i used to rule the world seas would rise when i gave the word now in the morning i sleep alone sweep the streets i used to own
i used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes listened as the crowd would sing “now the old king is dead, long live the king” one minute i held the key next the walls were closed on me and i discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand i hear jerusalem bells a-ringing roman cavalry choirs are singing be my mirror my sword and shield my missionaries in a foreign field for some reason i can’t explain once you’d gone there was never never an honest word and that was when i ruled the world
it was a wicked and wild wind blew down the doors to let me in shattered windows and the sound of drums people couldn’t believe what i’d become revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate just a puppet on a lonely string oh who would ever want to be king? i hear jerusalem bells a-ringing roman cavalry choirs are singing be my mirror my sword and shield my missionaries in a foreign field for some reason i can’t explain i know saint peter won’t call my name never an honest word but that was when i ruled the world
