Lyrics

[Verse 1]
December 24th, 9 PM, Eastern Standard Time
I can't believe a year went by so fast, ha
Now we measure how that year has passed, turn the projector on
First shot, Roger, tuning his Fender guitar, he just got out of hock
When he sold the car that took him away and back
(I found my song) He found his song if he could just find Mimi
(I tried, you know I tried)
[Verse 2]
Fade in on Mark who's still in the dark
(But he's got great footage) Which he's cut together
To screen tonight for an audience of one
A non-paying audience of one
This is gonna be really good, man (You don't have to say that)
No, I mean it
I'm really glad you're working on this
I'm glad you're home
[Verse 3]
Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight
I can fix this, I just have to figure out how to find a flashlight in the dark
Without a flashlight
What do you two do when I'm not here?
I had a little hunch you could use a little flow
Tutoring again? (Negative)
Back at N.Y.U?
No, no, no, I rewired the ATM at the food emporium
To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code
The code
A-N-G-E-L
[Verse 4]
Yet, Robin Hooding isn't the solution
The powers that be must undermined where they dwell
In a small, exclusive gourmet institution
Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe (Santa Fe)
With a private corner banquette (In the back)
We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe (Santa Fe)
But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
Oh
[Verse 5]
Mark! Roger! Anyone, help!
Maureen?
It's Mimi, we can't get her up the stairs
No
[Verse 6]
She was huddled in the park, in the dark
And she was freezing
And begged to see you
Let's get her inside, oh, God (Roger)
Got a light, I know you, you're shivering
She's been living on the street (We need some heat)
(I'm shivering) We can buy some wood and something to eat
I'm afraid she needs more than heat
I heard that
Collins will call for a doctor, honey
Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me (Hello, 911? I'm on hold)
Cold, cold, would you light my candle?
Yes, oh, God, find a
[Verse 7]
I should tell you, I should tell you
I should tell you, I should tell you
I should tell you, Benny wasn't any (Shh)
I know
I should tell you why I left
It wasn't 'cause I (I know)
I should tell you (I should tell you)
I should tell you, I love you
[Verse 8]
Who do you think you are?
Leaving me alone with my guitar
Hold on
There's something you should hear
It isn't much but it took all year
