Side 3, Track 3. "Bad Men."
[BRITTAIN (DUNYAZAD)]
Scheherazade was ending the story for the night:
[GELSEY (SCHEHEREZADE)]
"And so Rose left the shop with a brand new camera
And the number of the subway driver written on her arm"
But now the sun is rising
And that is all I am permitted to say
Do you like my story, Shah Zaman?
[BRENT (SHAH ZAMAN)]
It is a marvelous tale!
[BRITTAIN]
What a good, sweet story it is!
You are a real Scheherezade
[GELSEY]
How can this compare
To the story I shall tell you tomorrow night
If the Shah spares me, and I am still alive?
[BRENT]
When I kill you, I will miss you.
[GELSEY]
How will you grieve for me, o Shah?
[BRENT]
I will command a great feast for the kingdom
With the largest boar that the court has ever seen
And great oaken casks full of honey sweet wine
And we'll toast to the could-have-been Queen
And when the feast is in full swing
And the butterfly jesters are dancing
I will take the largest cask back to my room
And I'll drink all alone in my room
And I'll cry like a baby
And I'll drink so much I'll get sick
And I'll lie on the bathroom floor
And I'll drink some more
And I'll keep drinking
For forty-two years
And old, old man
All alone in his chair
Watching game shows
Making fun of the contestants
For their stupid answers
And their wasted lives
[BRITTAIN & GELSEY]
A wasted sack of a man
An empty brown paper bag
Soggy and gross
[BRENT]
If you can lose your temper
Then I can lose my mind
If you can lose your temper
Then I can lose my mind
[ALL]
If you can lose your temper
Then I can lose my mind
If you can lose your temper
Then I can lose my mind
[DAVE (ASTRONOMER)]
Come look at the stars, dear Pearl
Come look at the stars, dear Pearl
[BRITTAIN (ROSE RED)]
How could you. Sister, how could you?
[GELSEY (PEARL WHITE)]
He likes my singing. He likes my singing, that's all.
[DAVE]
Wait, wait, Rose Red, we were never-- we never--
[BRITTAIN]
I always knew you were shallow
I always knew you didn't know me
I always knew you didn't believe in me
I always knew that I bored you
I always knew I wasn't pretty enough to hold you
I always knew you'd go with someone smarter than me
I always knew your mind was elsewhere
I always knew you were a snob
I always knew you had your head in the stars
I always knew you and your books--
You and your fucking books!
I am not a puzzle!
I'm not some fucking logic puzzle for you to figure out!
I am not a fucking game!
Why don't you just go fuck your books?
Why don't you just go fuck all your fucking books?!
And we'll see who's smarter
We'll see
[BRENT (BEAR)]
Do you have the things I asked for?
One pot of honey
One piece of stardust
One secret baptism
And a photo of a ghost?
[BRITTAIN]
Hello there, Bear
I have the things you asked
I had to go through several lifetimes to get them
And now I'm in your cave
In my sexy red cloak
[BRENT]
I know, little girl
And now I'm gonna eat you up
Eat you up, eat you up like berries
[BRITTAIN]
But will you do what I asked?
Maul the astronomer?
Turn my sister into a crow?
[BRENT]
I am not a murderer
Or a crazy person
I just like honey
[GELSEY & DAVE]
He just likes honey
[BRENT]
You'll have to do it yourself!
Now go away, little girl
[BRITTAIN]
I hate you!
[ALL]
The driver can't stop, the ghost is here
The driver can't stop, the ghost is here
Side 3, Track 4. "Usher, Part 3" 2-3-4...
