200 Cigarettes Page #11

Synopsis: New Year's Eve, 1981, the Lower East Side. Monica's having a party, but as late as 9, no one's there. She stews (and drinks). Folks are on their way, all looking for love, sex, or both. En route, paths cross, gambits misfire: a performance artist, her boyfriend until today and his long-time pal Lucy, two Long Island high-school girls, two punk rockers, a bartender, a Scottish painter who's lousy in bed, a pretty face named Jack who runs when women say they love him, his cute but clumsy date Cindy, two trendy vamps, a loquacious cabby, the man-crazed Hillary, and Elvis Costello. Nearly everybody smokes, and nearly everybody scores. And all get who and what they deserve.

? She moves like she don't care?

? Smooth as silk, cool as air?

? Ooh, it makes you want to cry?

? She doesn't know your name?

? And your heart beats

like a subway train?

? Ooh, it makes you want to die?

? Ooh, don't you wanna take her?

? Wanna make her all your own?

? Maria?

? You've gotta see her?

? Go insane and out of your mind?

? Regina?

? Ave Maria?

? A million and one

candlelights??

[Rap Beat]

? There's no sin in this?

? Gettin' dressed to kill?

? Laughin' down the sun

like a jackal will?

? With his eyes ablaze

and his lips apart?

? He's gonna fill his cup

with the love in your heart?

? And drink it up

till the morning starts?

? Circulate the red light vistas?

? Get the girls

then get their sisters?

? Pinch 'em up

and give 'em blisters?

? Kiss 'em fierce with all his might

forever?

? Ever, ever?

? Standing on the verge

on the edge of the ledge?

? Waitin' for me to fall?

? Then I gotta call that said?

? Wait, homed-up homie

you must be trippin'?

? You can be puttin'

that sippin' and whippin'?

? Up in your bippin'

you better stand tall?

? Fool, you was born to ball?

? Took a little fall and now

you want to end it all?

[Radio Transmission]

? Yo, rock this

and slam dance to this?

? Move back when you see us

in the mosh pits?

? Smash some, we might have

female rap stompin'?

? Crack more heads

over them backs?

? You and your man

floated Tales from the Crypt?

? Rocky Horror

couldn't pitch it away?

? Come on?

? Get your goosebumps tinglin'?

? Out of the darkness

spark this?

? Total chaos

marked skin the hardest?

? Nothing could save us

all that is sacred?

? Dearly departed

Brave heart slave contained?

? Something courageous

The road rats explode?

? New rigors that devour?

? Don't cry for me

I'm proud, drunk off the power?

? The power, the power?

? Who's gonna cry?

? For ya?

? Who's gonna cry?

? Over you?

? You think you're infamous

Mark remains untamed?

? And you out for the cash

like you out for the fame?

? Lay back on the stack

down the kodiak?

? Right in my rap's head

Hold that?

? Look out

We saw the sound blast?

? But none heard

the sound of the blast?

? The man's out of control?

? The system bounced back?

? But he cracked up

Verbal assault?

? Quick to lash out?

? You're stunned

momentarily dropped?

? Seconds after?

? Then when you least expect it?

? You understand

there is no exit?

? Hey, yo?

? Who's gonna cry?

? For ya?

? Who's gonna cry??

[Music Changes]

? Two dozen other dirty lovers?

? Must be a sucker for it?

? Cracked up

but I don't need my mother?

? Just hold my hand

while I come?

? To a decision on it?

? Sooner or later?

? Your legs give way

you hit the ground?

? Save it for later?

? Don't run away and let me down?

? Sooner or later?

? You hit the deck

you get found out?

? Save it for later?

? Don't run away, run away?

? And let me down?

? Don't run away, run away

and let me down?

? Don't run away, run away?

? Run away, run away?

? Run away, run away, run away??

Disco Cab Driver:

If you remember anything

that I tell you, remember this:

James Brown is the baddest motherf***er

in show business.
