11.I'll Cover You (Reprise) (In A Church. Angel's Mem

MIMI
Angel was one of my closest friends. It's right that it's
Halloween,
because it was her favorite holiday. I knew we'd hit it off from
the
moment we met. That skin head was bothering her, and she said
she
was more of a man than he'd ever be, and more of a woman than
he'd
ever get...

MARK
..and then there was that time that he walked up to this group
of
tourists... and, they were petrified, because, a) they were
obviously
lost, and b) they had probably never spoken to a drag queen
before in
their lives...and he...she just offered to escort them out of
Alphabet
City, and then she let them take a picture with her, and then
she said
she'd help 'em find the Circle Line...

MAUREEN
..so much more original then any of us...you'd find an old table
cloth
on the street and make a dress...and next year, sure enough --
they'd
be mass producing them at the Gap. You always said how lucky you
were that we were all friends. But it was us, baby, who were the
lucky
ones.

COLLINS
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover
And I'll cover you
Open your door -- I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there -- I'll cover you
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you were, my love, on life
All my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true
As this is

(The following is sung simultaneously.)

I'll cover you with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you iwht a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you

COLLINS
If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
When you're worn out and tired
When your heart has expired
