"Cleopatra"

[00:12.10] I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress

[00:18.44] When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand

[00:24.72] But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress

[00:31.07] With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah

[00:43.47] And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet

[00:49.89] And it hardened like my heart did when you left town

[00:56.37] But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant

[01:02.42] Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

[01:08.94] But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

[01:15.10] And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[01:29.64] While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me

[01:35.51] Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true

[01:42.28] So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me

[01:48.68] From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

[01:54.81] But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

[02:01.09] And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[02:09.25] And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce

[02:17.28] But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

[02:28.25] I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters

[02:34.76] But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind

[02:40.88] Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom

[02:47.20] It's a bed and a bathroom

[02:52.14] And a place for the end

[02:56.77] I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

[03:03.26] And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
