Cleopatra
[Verse 1]
We grow old, our hearts are dim
But our minds are free, to fly where they will
Your beauty is faded, you're a broken shell
It's only the weak that fall for your spell

[Chorus]
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra

[Verse 2]
It's time to move to the next life
You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
You'll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh, the Jewel of the Nile

[Chorus]
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra

[Bridge]
All the wine we tasted, all the love we made
All the strumming lyres will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone, gone, gone away
Whoa...
[Breakdown]
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra

[Outro]
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
