Cleopatra

專輯：LOSS歌曲：Cleopatra作曲：Wesley Schultz作詞：Wesley SchultzI was Cleopatra, I was young and an actressWhen you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my handBut I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dressWith my father in a casket, I had no plansAnd I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpetAnd it hardened like my heart did when you left townBut I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instantDamn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you aroundBut I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on timeWhile the church discouraged, any lust that burned within meYes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held trueSo I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts meFrom the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of youBut I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on timeAnd the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorceBut I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my partI was Cleopatra, I was taller than the raftersBut that's all in the past now, gone with the windNow a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroomIt's a bed and a bathroomAnd a place for the endI won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lifeAnd when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
