Not So Cleopatra Now
Laurie Shaw
You are silicone heels and elegant bow
Stretches white and goes
Spinning arrows at the pop charts
Have it your way, babe
Saw you in a bath of milk floating away
Into the palest haze
Now, Cleopatra
Not so Cleopatra now are you, my love?
Oh, Cleo spoiling
Stone/concrete pillars at your feet
Time is a big long snake
Two loves make a head of joy
Amounts (peace, peace, peace)
Preacher gasps
Oh Cleo oh, do you know
What I did wrong?
Can you sing your snake song?
No, Cleopatra
Not so Cleopatra are we?
Tusks of wine, grapes washed by
The lizards in the parlour
Oh, oh, oh Cleopatra
Oh, oh Cleopatra
Oh, oh Cleopatra
Oh, oh Cleopatra
