专辑:《Cleopatra (Deluxe Version)》

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
yeah…
..
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
Aye …
..
And the church discouraged,
any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held out
When a man's dejected
Well he can fight for your affections
Or he can act like he never met you
And even go to the ground
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
Yeah…
..
So I drive a taxi,
and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat,
they remind me of you
But it's all a daydream
When it's you who's behind me
But you never recognize me appraising you
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
..
And there are nights I wake up
To the sound of a door shut
And I search on the floor
But I find no tracks
And the nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It's a bed and a bathroom
and a place to relax
..
But 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
Aye…
