Lyrics
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
Damn your wife, I′d be your mistress just to have you around

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
Die I'll be on time, I

And 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

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

The only gifts from my Lord
Were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits
So I play my parts

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past, love, gone with the wind
And 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

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
Die I'll be on time, I
