Your window sweats, your man he is asleep

the tower clock moans the appointments that you keep

enter the bar and Cleopatra dreams on


Now, your lover is drunk and he's asleep on the lawn
your boy is in the desert and he fondles a fawn
go to the bar! Cleopatra dream on


Now, the agents of grace have been stealing your lace
they cheat in the race and they claim your face
this is no place for Cleopatra dreaming on


So, you don't have to put me on
I know you're alone in the dawn
and I'll wait outside while Cleopatra dreams on


Now, there you go exploding your mind again
and yes, I understand all the trouble you've been in
but come on, man! I'm your friend


So, you don't have to put me on
I know you're there in the dawn
I wait outside and Cleopatra dreams on


instrumental = 1 verse


The disciples of soul and the husbands of woo
they don't know exactly what to do with you
they tax your broken heart and they commission your blues


And I'm trying to understand what you need
while you stand on the bar and wave flags at me
step out in the rain, Cleopatra dream on


So, you don't have to put me on
I know you're out there in the dawn
I'll wait outside and Cleopatra dreams on


Cleopatra dreams on
Cleopatra dreams on
Cleopatra dreams on, I heard her dreaming


Cleopatra dreams on
Cleopatra dreams on
Cleopatra dreams on, I heard her dream
