Cleopatra in Brooklyn - Frank Turner[00:00:00]
Written By:Frank Turner[00:00:01]
Wake up every morning and feel out of place[00:00:15]
You put on your face[00:00:18]
Once more with resignation[00:00:20]
The world won't appreciate greatness today[00:00:29]
But there's bills to be paid[00:00:32]
So you stumble to the station[00:00:34]
You're wearing your most imperceptible frown[00:00:43]
These people are adjectives to your proper noun[00:00:46]
As you wander the streets of this phony old town[00:00:50]
It's wearing you down[00:00:53]
And yet there you are[00:00:55]
Like a dream in your favourite blue dress[00:00:57]
Your hair is a mess but nevertheless[00:01:00]
Cleopatra in Brooklyn[00:01:04]
You casually shed poetry like your clothes[00:01:25]
In neat little rows[00:01:28]
On the floor of my hotel room[00:01:30]
You never wanted to be a princess[00:01:39]
Said you'd accept less[00:01:42]
Holding court holed-up in your bedroom[00:01:44]
I'd say I was Antony begging at your door[00:01:53]
But I know that you'd laugh and just ask me what for[00:01:56]
Then you'd roll your eyes as I fell the floor[00:02:00]
To swear that I'm yours[00:02:03]
And yet there you are[00:02:05]
Like a dream in your favourite blue dress[00:02:08]
Your hair is a mess but nevertheless[00:02:11]
Cleopatra in Brooklyn[00:02:15]
You wait by the Brooklyn bridge for your king to return[00:02:29]
You wait by the Brooklyn bridge for your king to return[00:02:36]
You wait by the Brooklyn bridge for your king to return[00:02:43]
Then retire to your palace on Smith Street as the old rope burns[00:02:50]
And yet there you are[00:02:56]
Like a dream in your favourite blue dress[00:02:58]
Your hair is a mess but nevertheless[00:03:02]
Cleopatra in Brooklyn[00:03:06]
Yes there you are[00:03:10]
A glittering star[00:03:12]
You couldn't care less who you impress[00:03:14]
You're my thrift store princess[00:03:17]
Cleopatra in Brooklyn[00:03:20]
I'll come find you when your fortunes fail you[00:03:25]
I'll die with you when the gods desert you[00:03:32]
I'll come find you when your fortunes fail you[00:03:39]
I'll die with you when the gods desert you[00:03:46]
