[BENNY]
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 fantasy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead
[MARK]
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes
[COLLINS] & [ROGER]
Dies irae dies illa
Kyrie eleison
Yitgadal v' yitkadash, etc.
[MARK]
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass- you bet your ass to-
La vie Boheme
[ALL]
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
[MARK]
To days of inspiration
Playing hookie, making something out of nothing
The need to express
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike,
Midday past the three- piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolut- to choice
To the Village Voice
To any passing fad
To being an us-for once-, instead of a them -
[ALL]

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 preform native american tribal chants backwards through her vocoder,
While accompanying herself on the electric cello
Which she ain't never studied
[ROGER]
And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability to hold an
erection on the high holy days
[MARK]
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"
[COLLINS]
ANGEL Dumott Schunard will now model the latest fall fashions from Paris
While accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub
[ANGEL]
And COLLINS will recount his exploits as anarchist
Including the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment
To self-destruct, as it broadcasts the words:
[ALL]
"Actual reality -- Act Up -- Fight AIDS"
[MIMI]
Excuse me did I do something wrong?
I get invited then ignored all night long
[ROGER]
I've been trying I'm not lying
No one's perfect I've got baggage
[MIMI]
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine
[ROGER]
I should tell, you-
[MIMI]
I've got baggage too
[ROGER]
I should tell you
[BOTH]
Baggage - wine
[OTHERS]
And beer!
[MIMI]
AZT break
[ROGER]
You?
[MIMI]
Me , You?

..the song actually goes on for a bit longer, but I couldn't find the entire song. But yes. Man I love Rent. <3

I'm the one holding the tree.

Yes, I was in fact chasing her with the tree. Good times.

Don't mess with Santa.

WELLINGTON, N.Z. (AP) - A group of 40 people dressed in Santa Claus outfits, many of them drunk, went on a rampage through Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, robbing stores, assaulting security guards and urinating from highway overpasses, police said Sunday.

The rampage, dubbed Santarchy by local newspapers, began early Saturday afternoon when the men, wearing ill-fitting Santa costumes, threw beer bottles and urinated on cars from an overpass, said Auckland Central Police spokesman Noreen Hegarty.

She said the men then rushed through a central city park, overturning garbage containers, throwing bottles at passing cars and spraying graffiti on office buildings.

One man climbed the mooring line of a cruise ship before being ordered down by the captain. Other Santas, objecting when the man was arrested, attacked security staff who were later treated by paramedics, Hegarty said.

The remaining Santas entered another downtown convenience store and carried off beer and soft drinks.

"They came in, said 'Merry Christmas' and then helped themselves," store owner Changa Manakynda said.

Two security guards were treated for cuts after being struck by beer bottles, Hegarty said. Three people, including the man who climbed on the cruise ship, were arrested and charged with drunkenness and disorderly behavior.

Alex Dyer, a spokesman for the group, said Santarchy is a worldwide movement designed to protest the commercialization of Christmas.
