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
