Mark Eitzel - Cleopatra Jones lyrics

The people I was with said you were Nothing but a f*g hag and a dope fiend But the song of your eyes Was of the loneliest woman I've ever seen We talked drunkenly at the bar I thought there's a sweetness here The world is missing You just got fired and now you're out High and drunk and celebrating Cleopatra Jones If they don't see you then they're blind Cleopatra Jones Liquor and love and everything that's kind Always kind to strangers But you know enough never to look back You never know if they're about to Pour salt in the knife wound on your back People in this bar are all smiles But that doesn't mean they'll give you The air you need to breathe When the show's over They'll take a big part of you When they decide to leave Cleopatra Jones She can kung fu just like Hercules Cleopatra Jones Leaves evil men on their knees Cleopatra only answers to a higher source from above A sensitivity to bright light And an unfounded belief in love And a soul a little bigger A little bigger than politeness can endure Lighter than air and harder to hold And much much bluer Much bluer Cleopatra Jones Is in exile with a lot of cla** Cleopatra Jones Teach me how to kick a little a** Cleopatra Jones Scales of justice under her head wrap Cleopatra Jones Crown of thorns, wears it like a nightcap
