[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
Splicing veins, tricky sh*t!
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 And I'm waiting for a car To come along and kill me People ask Why I'm standing in the road And I say because I'm frightened he will die Kill me please Straight ahead Make me dead Get it over with! |
[GORDON] In the middle of the room And I'm waiting for a shot Nurse, please! I'm sitting in the room I'm afraid of what I've got I'll die Kill me please Straight ahead Make me dead Get it over with! |
(MIMI picks up the phone.)
[MIMI, spoken]
I just called to tell you everything's gonna be alright
[GORDON, spoken]
Ma, you sound foolish
[MIMI]
Mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things-
[GORDON, spoken]
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, spoken]
It is not the middle of my life, mother!
I'm dying
[MIMI, spoken]
I will see you tomorrow
