Cleopatra (Live)

And I was Cleopatra, and I was young and an actress

And you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand

But I was sad that 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, and mud stained on the carpet

And it hardened like my heart did since you left town

And I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant

Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress to have you around

And 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 was a birth and a divorce

And I read this script from costume fits

So I'll play my part
