[00:12.52]I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
[00:18.86]When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
[00:25.19]But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
[00:32.44]With my father in a casket, I had no plans
[00:44.36]And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
[00:50.48]And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
[00:56.85]But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
[01:02.84]Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
[01:10.52]But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
[01:15.89]And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[01:22.53]
[01:30.06]While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
[01:36.37]Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
[01:42.80]So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
[01:49.14]From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
[01:55.47]But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
[02:02.02]And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[02:10.16]And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
[02:17.80]But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
[02:25.72]
[02:28.87]I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
[02:35.41]But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
[02:41.43]Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
[02:47.89]It's a bed and a bathroom
[02:52.74]And a place for the end
[02:57.41]I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
[03:03.93]And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
