the lumineers - cleopatra (live from wrigley field) lyrics
[verse 1]
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, yeah
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
so d+mn 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
[post+chorus]
ah
[verse 2]
while the church discouraged any l+st that burned within me
yes, my flesh, it was my currency, but i held true
and 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, oh
[verse 3]
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 guest room
it’s a bed and a bathroom
and a place for the end
[outro]
but 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
[outro]
ah
thank you
