You fear the lesson
And fear to walk
And fear to pass on
Your fear to talk
The teacher was feared
Your parents too
Then you became
The fear of you
Fear
Look to yourself
Climb over the wall
And see behind
That you're not so small
Then you won't blame fear
When competing's too much
As you fall on your back
As you fail to touch
Fear
And I say to you
When your fear is strong
When you fear your life
Then your fear is wrong
Set free your past
So shredding the skin
Then you won't fear
The fear of sin

What'd you forget?
MIMI
Got a light?
ROGER
I know you? --You're--
You're shivering
MIMI
It's nothing
They turned off my heat
And I'm just a little
Weak on my feet
Would you light my candle?
What are you staring at?
ROGER
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
MIMI
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway, what?
ROGER
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of-
MIMI
I always remind people of - Who is she?
ROGER
She died. Her name was April
MIMI
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
ROGER
Well-
MIMI
Yeah, ow
ROGER
Oh. The wax - It's
MIMI
Dripping! I like it - between my --
ROGER
Fingers. I figured. . .
Oh, well. Goodnight.
It blew out again?
MIMI
No - I think that I dropped my stash
ROGER
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
MIMI
I'm illin' -
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure -
Is it on the floor?
ROGER
The floor?
MIMI
They say I have the best ass
Below 14th Street
Is it true?
ROGER
What?
MIMI
You're staring again.
ROGER
Oh no.
I mean you do -- Have a nice --
I mean -- You look familiar
MIMI
Like your dead girlfriend?
ROGER
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --
MIMI
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club
That's where I work - I dance-
Help me look
ROGER
Yes!
They used to tie you up -
MIMI
It's a living
ROGER
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs
MIMI
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle
ROGER
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen
MIMI
I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
ROGER
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that
MIMI
I
