Songteksten

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

And a place for the end

[Verse 8]

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
