I was Cleopatra

I was young and an actress

And you knelt by my matress
当你跪在我的床边
And asked for my hand

And I was sad you asked it

As I laid in a black dress
你说我像是裹着黑裙的亡人
With my father in a casket

I had no plans
而我已手足无措
Yea
//
And I left the footprints
地毯上留下了
The mud stained on the carpet
肮脏的脚印
And it hardened like my heart did
当你离开的那一刻
When you left town
我的心也像是坚定了起来
But I must admit it
而我得承认
That I would marry you in an instant

Just to have you around

And the church discouraged
即便神父劝阻你
Any lust that burned within me
不要与我合葬一墓
Yes my flesh it was my currency

But I held out

When a man's dejected

Well he can fight for your affections
或许他仍坚持让你为他心动
Or he can act like he never met you

And even go to the ground

So I drive a taxi

And the traffic distracts me

From the strangers in my backseat

They remind me of you

Appraising you

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 play my part

And there are nights I wake up

To the sound of a door shut

And I search on the floor but

I find no tracks

And the nurse in white shoes

Leads me back to my guestroom

It's a bed and a bathroom
