Out Tonight
Mimi:
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight!
My body's talking to me, it says time for danger.
It says I wanna commit a crime....
Wanna be the cause of a fight.
I wanna put on a tight skirt and pretend you're a stranger!
I've got an itch to be a bitch!
I need to laugh like a child.
C'mon all you ? -
I know a spot, where it's too hot not to go wild!
We don't need any money,
I always get in for free!
You can get in too if you get in with me!

Mimi:
I had a knack from way back
of breaking the rules once I learned the games.
Get up - life's too quick!

do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on-line with the feline of Avenue B!
Let's go out tonight!
I hafta go out tonight!
You wanna prowl?
Be my night owl?

Mimi:
In the evening I've got to roam-
can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome.
Feels to damn much like home
when the Spanish babies cry!
So let's find a bar
so dark we forget who we are,
and all the scars of the nevers and maybes die!
Let's go out tonight!
I hafta go out tonight!
You're sweet, wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat!
Just take me out tonight!
Please take me out tonight!
Don't forsake me.

Without You
Joanne:
Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows....
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play....
The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly.... without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns- but I die, without you.
Maureen:
Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves....
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash....
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows- but I die, without you.
Both:
The world revives- colors renew....
but I know blue, only blue- lonely blue,
within me blue....
Maureen:
Without you. Without you the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse
beats.
Both:
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walk, the lungs breathe.
Joanne:
The mind churns!
Maureen:
The mind churns!
Joanne:
The heart yearns!
Maureen:
The heart yearns!
Both:
The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone....
Joanne:
Cause I die, without you.
Maureen:
Without you.
Both:
Without you....
Without you....

Collins:
We went to steal an air-conditioner.
Angel:
We'll be right back.
...from the answering machine...
Student:
Um, professor Collins, um, I'll be a freshman in your class this fall.
Um, the summer reading list- um, the bookstore in Dayton didn't have
"The Story of O".
So I'm wondering- He said he was going steal an air-conditioner!
Maybe this isn't the right number.

I'll Cover You B
Mimi:
Angel was one of my closest friends. I knew we'd hit it off the
moment we met. That skinhead was bothering her, and she said that
she was
more of a man he'd ever be - and more of a woman then he'd ever
get.
Mark:
And then there was this time when he walked right up to this group
of tourists and they were petrified because A, they were obviously
lost and B, had probably never spoken to a drag queen before in their
lives. And he- she- offered to escort them out of Alphabet City,
and then let them take a picture
with her and then said she'd help them find the Circle Line.
Maureen:
You were so much more original then any of us. You'd find an old
tablecloth on the street and turn it into a dress and sure enough:
next year they'd be mass producing them at The Gap. You always
said how lucky you felt that we were all friends- but it was us,
wasn't it? We were the lucky ones.
Collins:
Live in my house, I'll be your shelter.
Just pay me back with one thousand kisses.
Be my lover, and I'll cover you.
Open your door, I'll be your tenant.
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet.
But sweet kisses I've got to spare-
I'll be there and I'll cover you.
I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love-
now I know you can rent it, a new lease you were my love, on life....
All my life, I've longed to discover something as true as this is.
Soloist 1:
So with a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you.
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you.
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you.
With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you.
Company:
525,600 minutes... 525,000 moments so dear... 525,600 minutes... 525,600 - measure a year.
Collins:
If you're cold and you're lonely....
You've got one nickel only....
When you're worn out and tired....
If your heart has expired!
Collins & company:
Oh lover, I'll cover you!
Oh lover, I'll cover you....
Company:
525,600 minutes... 525,000 seasons of love...
