Gelsey Bell - Tango Dancer lyrics

[DAVE] Side 2, Track 7. “Tango Dancer.” [BRITTAIN (Rose Red)] Excuse me? [GELSEY (Scheherazade)] 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 THRU 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 WITH FILLED 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 A 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
