Appearances

Overview

"Cleopatra" is one of the songs under the "Belladonna" thematic grouping of songs on Everything Will Be Alright in the End, which pertains to songwriter Rivers Cuomo's relationships with women. A character named Cleo, portrayed by actress Allison Volk, appears in the album's liner notes and in the teaser videos released prior to the album.

"Cleopatra" was written somewhere between 2011 and January 2014. The song was not strongly considered for inclusion until spring of 2014.[citation needed] In December 2017, an early version of the song was leaked, along with the rest of Everything Will Be Alright In The End.

Lyrics

We grow old, our hearts are dim
But our minds are free to fly where they will
Your beauty has faded, you're a broken shell
It's only the weak that fall for your spell

You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra

It's time to move to the next life
You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
You'll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh, the jewel of the Nile

You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra

All the wine we tasted
All the love we made
All the strumming lyres
Will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone, gone, gone away (woah-oh-oh-oh...)

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
You're older, you're colder
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
You're older, you're colder

You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra (-patra, -patra, -patra)
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra (-patra, -patra, -patra)
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra (-patra, -patra, -patra)
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra (-patra, -patra, -patra)

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
You're older, you're colder
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
You're older, you're colder
