An Invitation to Sleep in My Arms

Letra
MIMI: Now that we know what the problem is, we're gonna get it fixed

GORDON: Tomorrow they'll strap me down on a bed

And remove the top of my head

Which is why I don't think that now's the right time

To have too much hope

I may be a dope

But I don't think so

No, I don't think so

No, I don't think so

ROGER: Would you ever consider lying close to me tonight

Could be exciting

I'm inviting you to sleep in my arms

Maybe we'll laugh too loud

Maybe we'll dance and you will sing

Maybe we'll smile at all the pleasures

Sex and eating often bring

Maybe we'll say no words

Just saying nothing is sublime

Maybe we'll read a book you always meant to read

For which you hadn't found the time

RHODA: Excuse me

But Bungee's calling to state

How though he knows you're about to sedate

But by tomorrow at ten he needs the "Yes" song

GORDON: Fuck him!

RHODA: He said no matter what, he's going to rehearse the "Yes" song

GORDON: He'll wait

RHODA: He said his son, Mr. Music, wrote a verse of the "Yes" song

He's going to use if your song isn't finished

MIMI: Rhoda!

RHODA: Tonight then, just disregard what he said

And sit and reminisce with Roger instead

If you get over-anxious, pick up a pen

Finish the song, maybe I'm wrong

But I don't think so

No, I don't think so

No, I don't think so

GORDON: I'd love to love but need to write

I get distracted so damn easily!

ROGER: Forget the writing

I'm inviting you to sleep in my arms (GORDON: They'll be other nights I'll have to sleep your arms)

ROGER: And if you snore (GORDON: I should have done what I meant to do)

ROGER: I'll let you snore (GORDON: I could have been what I meant to be)

ROGER: Maybe there's more! (GORDON: I could have written the score to a rise or a symphony)

ROGER: Maybe there's more, maybe we'll say no words (GORDON: A simple symphony)

ROGER: Just saying nothing is sublime (GORDON: A simple symphony)

ROGER: Maybe we'll read a book you always meant to read (GORDON: A simple symphony)

GORDON: Look, it's my decision, ok!

MIMI: Nobody asked my opinion

But why don't you tell him

His was the best invitation?

Why is he making such a scene?

While you sit discussing what you've got to discuss

I'm off to your place for a date with Mr. Clean, I love him!

Lie with the man

What are you, stupid?

Go and fly with the man

At least tonight, go fly

While I depart in hope and not in sorrow

Goodbye, my loves, goodbye

Operation tomorrow

Rhoda

GORDON: Tonight, though, could be my very last chance

To write a something I could be remembered by

It may not be a great song

But it could be my last song

So I hope you'll understand

If I simply kiss your hand

And say goodnight
