Cleopatra Dreams On |
| Your window sweats |
| Your man, he is asleep |
| The tower clock moans the appointments that you keep |
| Enter the bar |
| And Cleopatra dreams on |
| Now, your lover is drunk |
| And he’s asleep on the lawn |
| Your boy is in the desert, and he fondles a fawn |
| Go to the bar |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| Now, the agents of grace |
| Have been stealing your lace |
| They cheat in the race, then claim your face |
| This is no place |
| For Cleopatra dreaming on |
| So, you don’t have to put me on |
| I know you’re alone in the dawn |
| I’ll wait outside while Cleopatra dreams on |
| Now, there you go exploding your mind again |
| And yes, I understand all the trouble you’ve been in |
| But hey, man, I’m your friend! |
| So, you don’t have to put me on |
| I know you’re there in the dawn |
| I wait outside, and Cleopatra dreams on |
| The disciples of soul |
| And the husbands of woo |
| They don’t know exactly what to do with you |
| They tax your broken heart |
| And commission your blues |
| And I’m trying to understand |
| What you need |
| While you stand on the bar and wave flags at me |
| Step out in the rain |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| I heard her dreaming |
| Cleopatra dreams on |
| I heard her dream |
