(+) Good To Be Alive - Among Us Song
Who died?
Our Akita
Evita
You make fun yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your
Stoop every night?
Bohemia Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead
Dearly beloved
We gather here to say our goodbyes
Here she lies no one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we
Celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass you bet your ass to
La vie Boheme
To days of inspiration
Playing hookey making
Something out of nothing (La vie Boheme)
The need to express
To communicate (La vie Boheme)
To going against the grain
Going insane going mad (La vie Boheme)
To loving tension no pension (La vie Boheme)
To more than one dimension (La vie Boheme)
To starving for attention
Hating convention hating pretension
(La vie Boheme)
Not to mention of course
Hating dear old Mom and Dad (La vie Boheme)
To riding your bike (La vie Boheme)
Midday past the three piece suits
(La vie Boheme)
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolute to choice (La vie Boheme)
To the Village Voice (La vie Boheme)
To any passing fad
To being an us for once instead of a them
La vie Boheme (La vie Boheme)
Hey Mister she's my sister
So that's five miso soup four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls
Eww
It tastes the same
If you close your eyes
And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here?
Wine and beer
To hand crafted beers
Made in local breweries
To yoga to yogurt to rice
And beans and cheese
To leather to dildos to curry vindaloo
To Huevos Rancheros and Maya Angelou
Emotion devotion to causing a commotion
Creation vacation
Mucho masturbation
Compassion to fashion
To passion when it's new
To Sontag
To Sondheim
To anything taboo
Ginsberg Dylan Cunnigham and Cage
Lenny Bruce
Langston Hughes
To the stage
To Uta to Buddha Pablo Neruda too
Why Dorothy and Toto went
Over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Em
La vie Boheme
Sisters?
We're close
Brothers
Bisexuals trisexuals homo sapiens
Carcinogens hallucinogens men
Pee Wee Herman
German wine turpetine Gertrude Stein
Antoniotti Bertolucci Kurosawa
Carmina Burana
To apathy to entropy to empathy ecstacy
Vaclav Havel The Sex Pistols 8BC
To no shame never playing the Fame Game
To marijuana
To sodomy it's between God and me
To S & M
Waiter waiter waiter waiter
La vie Boheme
In honor of the death of
Bohemia an impromptu salon
Will commence immediately following dinner
Maureen Johnson just
Back from her spectacular
One night engagement
At the eleventh street lot
Will perform Native American tribal chants
Backwards through her vocoder
While accompanying herself
On the electric cello
Which she ain't never studied
And Mark Cohen will preview
His new documentary about his inability
To hold an erection on the high holy days
And Mimi Marquez clad only in bubble wrap
Will perform her famous lawn chair handcuff
Dance to the sounds
Of iced tea being stirred
And Roger will attempt
To write a bittersweet evocative song
That doesn't remind us of
Musetta's Waltz
Angel Dumott Schunard will model
The latest fall fashions
From Paris while accompanying herself
On the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub
And Collins will recount his exploits
As anarchist
Including the tale of the successful
Reprogramming of the M I T
Virtual reality equipment to self destruct
As it broadcasts the words
Actual reality act up fight AIDS
Excuse me did I do something wrong?
I get invited then ignored all night long
I've been trying I'm not lying
No one's perfect I've got baggage
Life's too short babe time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine
I should tell you
I got baggage too
I should tell you
Baggage
Wine and beer
Azt break
You?
Me you?
Mimi
Are we packed?
Yes and by next week
I want you to be
Pookie?
And you should see
They've padlocked your building
And they're rioting on Avenue B
Benny called the cops
That fuck
They don't know what they're doing
The cops are sweeping the lot
But no one's leaving
They're just sitting there mooing
Yeah
To dance
No way to make a living
Masochism pain perfection
Muscle spasms chiropractors
Short careers eating disorders
Film
Adventure tedium
No family boring locations
Darkrooms perfect faces egos money
Hollywood and sleaze
Music
Food of love emotion
Mathematics isolation rhythm
Power feeling
Harmony and heavy competition
Anarchy
Revolution justice
Screaming for solutions
Forcing changes risk and danger
Making noise and making pleas
To faggots lezzies dykes cross dressers too
To me
To me
To me
To you and you and you you and you
To people living with living with living with
Not dying from disease
Let he among us without sin
Be the first to condemn
La Vie Boheme
La Vie Boheme
La Vie Boheme
Anyone out of the mainstream
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone alive with a sex drive
Tear down the wall
Aren't we all
The opposite of war isn't peace
It's creation
La Vie Boheme
La Vie Boheme
La Vie Boheme
La Vie Boheme
Viva la Vie Boheme
