歌词
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
我是克里奥佩特拉，年轻气盛，处世精明
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
当你跪倒于我的塌前，乞求轻触我的玉手
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
但我深感遗憾，因我早已将其藏入我黑裙深处
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
看着我棺内的父亲，我无计可施
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
只能无奈离去，尘埃随脚步沾染了身后的地毯
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
在你远离之时，我的心也随之变得坚硬无比
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
但我无可否认，将来的某天，你我将会结为一体
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
去你的老婆！我将会成为你承欢膝下的情妇
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
但一切都太迟了！都太迟了！迟到错过了我一生的挚爱
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
当我孤独逝去，付诸流水，我将不会像错过你般错过我的死亡
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
那时，教堂氤氲着悲痛，所有的欲望将随我灰飞烟灭
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
对，那是我的肉体，曾经的寄存，但我拥有灵魂
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
所以我开着的士，恼人的交通阻挠着我
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
看啊！我后座陌生的乘客，他们让我想起了你
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
但一切都太迟了！都太迟了！迟到错过了我一生的挚爱
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
当我孤独逝去，付诸流水，我将不会像错过你般错过我的死亡
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
我信仰的神明给予我的礼物只有诞生与无尽的分离
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
但我已熟知这个剧本，我的戏服华美适宜，那么，我就好好地出演这人生大剧吧
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
我是克里奥佩特拉，心比天高
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
但这一切已定格为过去，随风飘散
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
如今一名脚踏白鞋的护士引领我回到我的客房
It's a bed and a bathroom
只有一张床，一间盥洗间
and a place for the end
和一方结束生命尽头的空间
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
我永不会错过这场死亡，永远不会，永远不会错过我一生的挚爱
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
当我孤独逝去，付诸流水，阖上双眼，灵魂飘散
