In the Middle of the Room (Part I) Lyrics

[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
Slicing 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

[GORDON]
In the middle of the room

[MIMI]
And I'm waiting for a car

[GORDON]
And I'm waiting for a shot

[MIMI]
To come along and kill me

[GORDON]
Nurse, please!

[MIMI]
People ask why I'm standing in the road

[GORDON]
I'm sitting in the room

[MIMI]
And I say because

[GORDON]
I'm afraid of what I've got

[MIMI]
I'm frightened he will die

[GORDON]
I'll die

[GORDON/MIMI]
Kill me please, straight ahead
Make me dead, get it over with

[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]
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]
You are too young to die. I will see you tomorrow
