The Ballad of Mimi and Roger
Standing in the streets of New York
Trying to get to Avenue A
The man in the coat
Said "You've got to pay back"
You know they didn't even give us a chance
Ben, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
Finally made the bus into NY
Thinking of you, Mimi
Well, Maureen, she called to say
"Did you make it okay?"
They can't find Mimi in rehab that day
Ben, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
Walked in from the bus stop into the loft
Singing on the rooftop all day
The old people said
"Say, what you doin' up there?"
I said "We're only trying to get us some air"
Ben, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
Spending all you're money on powder today
Getting all you're clothes from charity
Last night Collins said
"Oh, boy, if she's dead"
"I won't get any sleep for a week"
Found her lying down in the park
Eaten nothing today, just smack
And Joanna said
"She's got to hear it"
"Hear the song you've been writing all year"
Ben, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
Brought her back down to tenth city
Fifty steps up to the loft
The man called Mark Cohen
Said "It's good you walked fast"
It's great to have all of you back
Ben, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
The way things are going
They're gonna evict me
