Cleopatra

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
我是Cleopatra，年輕貌美的女演員
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
當你雙膝跪地，想與我廝守終生
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
著著黑衣的我，卻傷心不已
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
可父親遺願如此，我別無他法
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
我留下灰跡，踩過地毯
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
你的離開，讓我鐵下心
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
但我知道，最終我只得與你相伴
Damn your wife, Id be your mistress just to have you around
也許不是正室，但我必須在你身邊
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
可我總是姍姍來遲，錯失了心中所愛
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die Ill be on time
唯有孤獨終老之時，內心才會得以平靜

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
教會阻止了我的離去，我的渴望只得埋藏於心
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
我心如死灰，但仍心存希望
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
於是我搭上出租車，可路上水洩不通
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
後座上的陌生人，也教唆我不要離開
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
可我總是姍姍來遲，錯失了心中所愛
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die Ill be on time
唯有孤獨終老之時，內心才會得以平靜
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
上天給予我的只有出生與離別
But Ive read this script and the costume fits, so Ill play my part
可命運弄人，我別無他法

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
我叫Cleopatra，曾經內心洶湧澎湃
But thats all in the past now, gone with the wind
但這一切早已不再，逝於風中
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
現在的我走向自己的新居
Its a bed and a bathroom
一張床，一間臥室
And a place for the end
也許一切會終於此
I wont be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
我不會為這個遲到，為那個遲到，為我生命中的摯愛遲到
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die Ill be on time
唯有孤獨終老之時，內心才會得以平靜
