What You Own
Don't breathe too deep Don't think all day Dive into work Drive the other way That drip of hurt That pint of shame Goes away Just play the game You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Leave your conscience at the tone And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own
(Lights up on ROGER.)
ROGER The filmmaker cannot see
MARK And the songwriter cannot hear
ROGER Yet I see Mimi everywhere
MARK Angel's voice is in my ear
ROGER Just tighten those shoulders
MARK Just clench your jaw till you frown
ROGER Just don't let go
BOTH Or you may drown
You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Where it's like the Twilight Zone And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own So I own not a notion I escape and ape content I don't own emotion -- I rent
MARK Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com What was it about that night
ROGER What was it about that night
BOTH Connection -- in an isolating age
MARK For once the shadows gave way to light
ROGER For once the shadows gave way to light
BOTH For once I didn't disengage
(MARK goes to the pay phone and dials.)
MARK Angel -- I hear you -- I hear it I see it -- I see it My film!
ROGER Mimi I see you -- I see it I hear it -- I hear it My song!
MARK (on the phone) Alexi--Mark Call me a hypocrite I need to finish my own film I quit!
ROGER One song--glory Mimi Your eyes...
BOTH Dying in America At the end of the millennium We're dying in America To come into our own And when you're dying in America At the end of the millennium You're not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone
(Blackout.)
