[DAVE]
Side 2, Track 7. "Tango Dancer."

[BRITTAIN (ROSE RED)]
Excuse me?

[GELSEY (SCHEHEREZADE)]
Can I help you?

[BRITTAIN]
I hope so. Are you... ancient?

[GELSEY]
That's not polite, child.

[BRITTAIN]
I'm sorry— you know, you know what I mean.

[GELSEY]
Yes, child. And yes, I am.
Do I know you? You remind me of my sister.

[BRITTAIN]
No, I'm from far away. My name is Rose. Rose Red.

[GELSEY]
My sister's name was Dunyazad.

[BRITTAIN]
It's a beautiful name.
I know her, from the stories.

[GELSEY]
She's been dead a long time now.
What do you need?

[BRITTAIN]
Um, stardust? Just one piece.

[GELSEY]
Hm. I don't know if I have any left.
1001 is a pretty big number.

[BRITTAIN]
I always figured you could have gone on forever.

[GELSEY]
Nope. Not forever.

I have a lot of memories
And I have a lot of sadness
But the two don't line up
The two don't line up

I used to run through the sand
Campfire stars in the distance
And I'd gaze into the darkness
And wonder about the void

And I'm haunted by that memory
Of who I used to be
So gleeful, so blank, so ready

I was empty then
And I'm empty now
But it's not the same at all

My head was filled with stories
Of swimming and singing on the moon
And I'd stay up all night long
I'd stay up all night long

And all of the boys would fall over
Oh, how dazzling I could be
But the magic is gone
All my joy got bloated and sick

And I'm haunted by those memories
Of who I used to be
So gleeful, so blank, so ready

Last night I dreamed
I met myself at a tango
All the dancers were ruthless and deranged
And I asked my younger self for a dance
Just like
(She dances a bit, then stops)
But myself didn't have time for me
Didn't have time for anyone, so used up

So she danced alone
And I sat in the chair by the wall
All alone, staring at my phone

[ALL]
I was empty then
And I'm empty now
But it's not the same at all
