Cleopatra Jones |
| The people I was with said you were |
| Nothing but a fag hag and a dope fiend |
| But the song of your eyes |
| Was of the loneliest woman I’ve ever seen |
| We talked drunkenly at the bar |
| I thought there’s a sweetness here |
| The world is missing |
| You just got fired and now you’re out |
| High and drunk and celebrating |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| If they don’t see you then they’re blind |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Liquor and love and everything that’s kind |
| Always kind to strangers |
| But you know enough never to look back |
| You never know if they’re about to |
| Pour salt in the knife wound on your back |
| People in this bar are all smiles |
| But that doesn’t mean they’ll give you |
| The air you need to breathe |
| When the show’s over |
| They’ll take a big part of you |
| When they decide to leave |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| She can kung fu just like Hercules |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Leaves evil men on their knees |
| Cleopatra only answers to a higher source from above |
| A sensitivity to bright light |
| And an unfounded belief in love |
| And a soul a little bigger |
| A little bigger than politeness can endure |
| Lighter than air and harder to hold |
| And much much bluer |
| Much bluer |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Is in exile with a lot of class |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Teach me how to kick a little ass |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Scales of justice under her head wrap |
| Cleopatra Jones |
| Crown of thorns, wears it like a nightcap |
