Lyrics of Light My Candle by Daphne Rubin-Vega,Anthony Rapp
verse
What'd you forget?
Got a light?
I know you, you're-
You're shivering
verse
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?
verse
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
verse
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning
Anyway, what?
verse
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?
verse
Well
Yeah, ow!
Oh, the wax, it's-
Dripping! I like it, between my-
Fingers, I figured
Oh, well, goodnight
verse
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
verse
I'm illin'
And I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure
Is it on the floor?
The floor?
verse
They say I have the best ass below 14th street
Is it true?
What?
You're staring again
verse
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
verse
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work, I dance, help me look
Yes!
They used to tie you up
It's a living
verse
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs
We could light the candle
Oh, won't you light the candle?
verse
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're 16
I'm 19, but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
verse
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
verse
But now and then I like to (uh-huh) feel good
Oh here it, um
(What's that?) It's a candy bar wrapper
We could light the candle
Oh, what'd you do with my candle?
verse
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
verse
Bah humbug
Bah humbug
Cold hands
Yours too big, like my father's
Do you wanna dance?
verse
With you?
No, with my father
I'm Roger
They call me
They call me
Mimi
