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

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

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

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

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

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

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
