but uhh..i like
"close on mark's nosedive..will he get out of here alive?"
"i dont own emotion, i rent"
"i cant control my destiny, i trust my soul, my only goal is just to be"
Collins-- are we a thing?
Angel-- Darling, we're everything

"you always said how lucky you were to have us as friends, but it was us baby, we were the lucky ones."

It's something like that.

"There's only us, there's only this. Forget, regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way. No day but today."

I love the Collins/Angel "Darling, we're everything" exchange too, but I also love the preceding lines.
Angel: Alone at last
Collins(about Mark): He'll be back, I'll guarantee.
Angel: I've been hearing violins all night.
Collins: Anything to do with me? Are we a thing?
Angel: Darling, we're everything.

You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends, but it was us, Baby, who were the lucky ones.

There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love or live in fear.

A tiger in a cage can never see the sun. This diva needs her stage Baby, let's have fun.

Kiss Me- It's beginning to snow!

Got any X
any smack
any horse
any joogie boogie boy
any blow?

Collins; She's a theif!
Angel: But she brought us together.

I forgot these earlier, all from Christmas Bells, my favorite song.

"You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on tv!"

"I'm a New Yorker! Fear's my life!"

"In the evening, I've got to roam. Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome . . . feel's to damn much like home, when the spanish babies cry."

"How could a night so frozen be so scalding hot? How could a morning this mild be so raw?"

"Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory when single frames from one magic night forever flicker in close-up on the 3D imax of my mind. That's poetic. That's pathetic."

"Where's everyone else?"

"Playing Spiderman!"

"Ironic/close up tight/on the phone machine's red light/once the boho boys are gone/the power mysteriously comes on..."

Why am I the witness and when I capture it on film does it mean that its the end and I'm alone?

You pretend to create and observe when you really detach from feeling alive / Perhaps because I'm the one of us to survive!

Your own blood cells betray?
What binds the fabric together when the raging, shifting winds of change
Keep ripping away?"

To people living with, living with, living with, not dying from disease!

Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?

I die without you.
