I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress 00:35
When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand 00:41
But I was sad, you asked it as I laid in a black dress 00:48
With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah 00:55
01:03
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet 01:07
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town 01:14
01:19
Well, I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant 01:21
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around 01:27
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life 01:33
And when I die alone, when I die alone, die I'll be on time 01:39
And while the church discouraged any lust that burned within me 01:46
01:53
Yes, my flesh it was my currency, but I held true 01:59
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me 02:04
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you 02:11
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life 02:17
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time 02:24
The only gifts from my Lord, were birth and a divorce 02:30
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I play my part 02:37
02:44
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters 02:47
02:54
But that's all in the past, love, gone with the wind 02:57
And now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom 03:01
It's a bed and a bathroom and a place for the end 03:09
03:18
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life 03:21
And when I die alone, when I die alone, die I'll be on time 03:28

歌词与翻译

[中文]
我曾是克利奥帕特拉,年轻时是个演员
当你跪在我的床边,向我求婚
但我很伤心,你求婚时我穿着黑衣躺着
父亲已在棺材里,我毫无计划,是的
...
我留下了脚印,泥土沾染了地毯
它变硬了,就像你离开时我的心一样
...
嗯,我必须承认,我会立刻嫁给你
该死的你妻子,我宁愿做你的情妇,只为能和你在一起
但我总是迟到,迟到于这,迟到于那,迟到于我生命中的爱
当我独自死去,当我独自死去,死去时我会准时
教堂抑制着我内心的欲望
...
是的,我的肉体是我的筹码,但我保持真实
所以我开出租车,交通让我分心
后座的陌生人,他们让我想起你
但我总是迟到,迟到于这,迟到于那,迟到于我生命中的爱
当我独自死去,当我独自死去,当我死去时我会准时
上帝给我的唯一礼物,是出生和离婚
但我读过这个剧本,服装合身,所以我扮演我的角色
...
我曾是克利奥帕特拉,我比房梁还高
...
但那都已是过去,爱人,随风而去
现在,一位穿白鞋的护士领我回客房
有一张床和浴室,是结束的地方
...
我不会迟到于这,迟到于那,迟到于我生命中的爱
当我独自死去,当我独自死去,死去时我会准时
