[Angel] Who died?

[Benny] You make fun, yet I'm the one,
Attempting to do some good,
Or do you really want a neighborhood,
Where people piss on your stoop every night?

This is calcutta. Bohemia, is dead.
[Mark] Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our good byes.
Here she lies.

In that little town of bethlhem.

La Vie... Boheme.

[Mark] To days of inspiration, playing hooky, makin' somethin' out of nothin'.
The need to express to communicate.
To going against the grain, going insane, going mad.
To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension.
To starving for attention, hating convention, hating pretension,
Not to mention, of course, hating dear old mom and dad,
To riding your bike miday past the three-peice suits.
To fruits! To no absolutes.
To absolute. To choice. To the village voice.
To any passing fad.
To being an us for once.
Instead of a them...
[All]La Vie Boheme. La Vie Boheme.
