-VERSE-
Wake up in the morning you feel out of place
You're a disgrace
The world won't appreciate greatness today
But there's bills to be paid
These people are adjectives to your proper noun
C *
And yet there you are
Standing out in your favourite blue dress
Hair is a mess
Nevertheless
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn
-VERSE-
You casually shed poetry like your clothes
In neat little rows
On the floor of my hotel room
You'd always dreamed that you'd be a princess
But you'd accept less
But I know that you'd laugh and just ask me what for
C *
And yet there you are
Standing out in your favourite blue dress
Hair is a mess
Nevertheless
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn
BRIDGE RIFF
BRIDGE RIFF
Yet there you are
Standing out in your favourite blue dress
Hair is a mess
Nevertheless
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn
Yes there you are
A glittering star
Couldn't care less
Who do you impress
You're my thrift store princess
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn
I'll come find you when the fates dessert you
I'll still hold you when the Gods dessert you
