Cleopatra
I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress
- I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress
- When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand
- But I was sad you asked it as I laid in a black dress
- With my father in a casket I had no plans
- And I left the footprints the mud stained on the carpet
- And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
- But I must admit it that I would marry you in an instant
- Damn your wife I'd be your mistress just to have you around
- But I was late for this late for that
- Late for the love of my life
- And when I die alone when I die alone
- When I die I'll be on time
- While the church discouraged any lust that burned within me
- Yes my flesh it was my currency but I held true
- So I drive a taxi and the traffic distracts me
- From the strangers in my backseat they remind me of you
- But I was late for this late for that
- Late for the love of my life
- And when I die alone when I die alone
- When I die I'll be on time
- And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
- But I've read this script and the costume fits so I'll play my part
- I was Cleopatra I was taller than the rafters
- But that's all in the past now gone with the wind
- Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
- It's a bed and a bathroom
- A place for the end
- I won't be late for this late for that
- Late for the love of my life
- And when I die alone when I die alone
- When I die I'll be on time
