What You Own

MARK
Don't breathe too deep.
Don't think all day
Dive into work,
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt.
That pint of shame
Goes away. Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own

ROGER
The filmmaker cannot see

MARK
And the songwriter cannot hear

ROGER
Yet I see Mimi everywhere

MARK
Angel's voice is in my ear

ROGER
Just tighten those shoulders

MARK
Just clench your jaw 'til you frown

ROGER
Just don't let go

BOTH
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion - I rent

MARK
What was it about that night

ROGER
What was it about that night

BOTH
Connection - in an isolating age
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once I didn't disengage

MARK
Angel - I hear you - I hear it
I see it - I see it
My film!

ROGER
Mimi I see you
I see it - I hear it - I hear it
My song!

MARK
Alexi - Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
I quit!

ROGER
One song - glory
Mimi
Your eyes

BOTH
Dying in America
At the end of the millenium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millenium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'M NOT ALONE!!
