[Verse 1]
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
我是(埃及艷后)克麗奧派翠，年輕演員
當你跪在我的床前，想牽我的手
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
傷心的我，穿著黑衣服
父親躺在棺材裡，我還沒有計劃
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
我在地氈留下腳印和污垢
當你離開城鎮，我很傷心
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
我承認想跟你一見鍾情之下結婚
背叛你的妻子，我會是你的情婦
[Chorus]
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
對我一生的愛，我遲到了
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
但我會準時孤獨的死去
[Verse 2]
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
雖然教會不准，我內心燃燒著慾望
這是我的身體，這是我的流動，我的真誠
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
我開一輛計程車，路上交通讓我分心
後座的陌生人，時時讓我觸碰心中的你
[Chorus]
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
對我一生的愛，我遲到了
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
但我會準時孤獨的死去
[Bridge]
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
我的主唯一的恩賜是，一個小嬰兒和離婚
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
讀過這個腳本和試穿套裝，我將會發揮此角色
[Verse 3]
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
我曾是埃及艷后，我比屋頂高
但這一切都在過去，隨風而去
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
一個穿白鞋的護士，帶我回到我的客房
那是一張床和一間浴室 和一個最後的地方
[Outro]
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
再來，對我一生的愛，我將不會遲到
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
且我會準時孤獨的死去
