LYRICFLUENTCleopatra Lyrics by The Lumineers The Lumineers
Below, you will find the lyrics for Cleopatra by The Lumineers.
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
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
Chorus 1
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 2
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
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
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 3
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
Outro
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
