[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 shit!
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
