《Cleopatra》歌词

[00:00:00] Cleopatra - Danny Schmidt

[00:00:14] She told me that her name

[00:00:16] Was Cleopatra when we met

[00:00:20] And I didn't mind at

[00:00:22] All though she was lying I suspect

[00:00:27] I told her I'm the emperor

[00:00:30] Of all that I survey

[00:00:33] “You can call me Alexander” --

[00:00:37] Well she said that was great

[00:00:40] Going round this old mobile

[00:00:43] Going round

[00:00:47] It's just as easy talking up

[00:00:50] As talking down

[00:00:55] She told me 'bout a boyfriend

[00:00:58] Who'd proposed in middle school

[00:01:02] And stories of her family I could

[00:01:05] Tell she wished were true

[00:01:08] It was Christmas in the Catskills

[00:01:12] And Easter on the cape

[00:01:16] And Mama married money

[00:01:19] And Daddy by mistake

[00:01:22] Going round this old mobile

[00:01:25] Going round

[00:01:29] It's just as easy talking up

[00:01:32] As talking down

[00:01:37] And I told her 'bout the time

[00:01:39] I got arrested in the park

[00:01:43] For kissing after curfew

[00:01:47] And then for talking smart

[00:01:50] And as they drove me to the station house

[00:01:54] In cuffs and in conceit

[00:01:57] I found a quarter bag of weed

[00:02:01] That'd been stuffed down in the seat

[00:02:04] Going round this old mobile

[00:02:07] Going round

[00:02:11] It's just as easy talking up

[00:02:14] As talking down

[00:02:19] I told her 'bout the incident

[00:02:22] With fireworks and doves

[00:02:25] And she told me about Somoa

[00:02:29] And lilikoi and love

[00:02:32] And we compared our notes

[00:02:34] On marketplaces Brownsville and Bombay

[00:02:39] And how the story of your life

[00:02:42] Is always yours to trade away

[00:02:46] Going round this old mobile

[00:02:49] Going round

[00:02:53] It's just as easy talking up

[00:02:56] As talking down

[00:03:01] But when things got quiet

[00:03:04] She got far

[00:03:09] And I caught a tiny glimpse

[00:03:12] Of Cleopatra's heart

[00:03:18] Curled up in candlelight at home

[00:03:25] And her fingers smelled

[00:03:26] Like cigarettes and another night alone

[00:03:49] There comes a time

[00:03:50] In every barroom night

[00:03:52] When the light starts getting strange

[00:03:56] And the shadows and the highlights start

[00:03:59] To cross and start to change

[00:04:03] In the hollow of her cheekbones

[00:04:06] Hid both fantasy and flight

[00:04:10] As she kissed me on the lips

[00:04:13] And disappeared into the night

[00:04:17] Going round this old mobile

[00:04:21] Going round

[00:04:25] It's just as easy talking up

[00:04:28] As talking down

[00:04:32] Going round this old mobile

[00:04:35] Going round

[00:04:40] It's just as easy talking up

[00:04:43] As talking down

[00:04:47] It's just as easy talking up as talking down
