[00:02.18] ANGEL:Who died?
[00:03.25] BENNY:Our Akita
[00:07.08] They make fun yet I'm the one
[00:09.65] Attempting to do some good
[00:12.32] Or do you really want a neighborhood
[00:14.92] Where people piss on your stoop every night?
[00:18.15] Bohemia, Bohemia's
[00:21.38] A fallacy in your head
[00:25.04] This is Calcutta
[00:27.07] Bohemia is dead
[00:35.38] MARK
[00:35.95] Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes
[00:48.84] Here she lies
[00:52.51] No one knew her worth
[00:55.98] The late great daughter of mother earth
[01:01.62] On this night when we celebrate the birth
[01:07.58] In that little town of Bethlehem
[01:12.26] We raise our glass- you bet your ass to-
[01:21.06] La vie Boheme
[01:34.15] ALL
[01:34.47] La vie Boheme
[01:38.68] La vie Boheme
[01:42.69] La vie Boheme
[01:46.45] La vie Boheme
[01:47.06] MARK
[01:47.18] To days of inspiration
[01:48.76] Playing hookie, making something out of nothing
[01:50.50] The need to express
[01:53.41] To communicate,
[01:54.49] To going against the grain,
[01:56.43] Going insane
[01:57.61] Going mad
[01:59.34]
[02:01.02] To loving tension, no pension
[02:03.22] To more than one dimension,
[02:05.04] To starving for attention,
[02:06.70] Hating convention, hating pretension
[02:08.99] Not to mention of course,
[02:11.17] Hating dear old mom and dad
[02:13.75]
[02:15.85] To riding your bike,
[02:17.76] Midday past the three- piece suits
[02:20.43] To fruits to no absolutes
[02:22.65] To Absolute- to choice
[02:24.92] To the Village Voice
[02:26.76] To any passing fad
[02:30.35] To being an us-for once-, instead of a them -
[02:36.05]
