==Lyrics== | ==Lyrics== | ||
The people I was with said you were nothing<br> | |||
but a fag hag and a dope fiend<br> | |||
the | but the song of your eyes<br> | ||
the | was of the loneliest woman I've ever seen<br> | ||
we talked drunkenly at the bar<br> | |||
I thought there's a sweetness here<br> | |||
the world is missing<br> | |||
you just got fired and now you're out<br> | |||
high and drunk and celebrating | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
if they don't see you then they're blind<br> | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
liquor and love and everything that's kind | |||
Always kind to strangers<br> | |||
but you know enough never to look back<br> | |||
you never know if they're about to<br> | |||
pour salt in the knife wound on your back<br> | |||
people in this bar are all smiles<br> | |||
but that doesn't mean they'll give you the air<br> | |||
you need to breathe<br> | |||
when the show's over they'll take a big part of you<br> | |||
when they decide to leave | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
she can kung fu just like Hercules<br> | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
leaves evil men on their knees | |||
Cleopatra only answers to a higher source from above<br> | |||
and | a sensitivity to bright light<br> | ||
and an unfounded belief in love<br> | |||
and a soul a little bigger<br> | |||
a little bigger than politeness can endure<br> | |||
lighter than air and harder to hold<br> | |||
and much much bluer<br> | |||
much bluer | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
is in exile with a lot of class<br> | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
teach me how to kick a little ass<br> | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
scales of justice under her head wrap<br> | |||
Cleopatra Jones<br> | |||
crown of thorns, wears it like a nightcap | |||
