[Intro] [Verse] 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 [Break] [Pre-chorus] 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] 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 [Break] [Pre-chorus II] 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] 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 [Break] [Pre-chorus II] 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 [Chorus] 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 [End] Cleopatra: [Intro] [Verse] 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 [Break] [Pre-chorus] 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] 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   [Break] [Pre-chorus II] 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] 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 [Break] [Pre-chorus II] 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 [Chorus] 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   [End] Sleep On The Floor: [Intro] [Verse] Pack yourself a toothbrush dear Pack yourself a favorite blouse Take a withdrawlslip Take all of your savings out ’Cause if we don’t leave this town We might never make it out And I was not born to drown Baby c’mon          [Verse] Forget what father Brennan said We were not born in sin Leave a note on your bed Let your mother know you’re safe And by the time she wakes We’ll ’ve driven through the state We’ll ’ve driven through the night Baby c’mon    C* -
