I was Cleopatra
I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress and asked 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
Yeah

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, ah

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, ah
