Sloan - Cleopatra Lyrics






Cleopatra
There's a reason she's taking her time
Collecting her thoughts, like a gallery
Assembling a new paradigm

She turns to the strangers
Like we all do from time to time
Recounting the facts, paying her tax
And assessing her own bottom line

Could've met upon the set, but it was too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
[?] before it's too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)

Cleopatra
Tossing coins to help her decide
At the top of the field, in the stadium
Home and away [?]

If you could only see through those wicked eyes
Blind ambition cut the ribbon to those ancient ties, hey

Could've met upon the set, but it was too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
[?] before it's too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)

You've got a lot on your mind
Like a lamb and a lion
Baby, L.A. is fine
You've got a lot on your mind, and I hope that you say it

So Cleopatra
As she's at 20th Century Fox
Demanding her third, the men overheard
They're barely recouping their costs
