Your window sweats   Your man he is asleep   The tower clock moans the appointments that you keep   Enter the bar   And Cleopatra dreams on      Now, your lover is drunk   And he's asleep on the lawn   Your boy is in the desert and he fondles a fawn   Go to the bar!   Cleopatra dreams on      Now, the agents of grace   Have been stealing your lace   They cheat in the race, then claim your face   This is no place   For Cleopatra dreaming on      So, you don't have to put me on   I know you're alone in the dawn   I'll wait outside while Cleopatra dreams on      Now, there you go exploding your mind again   And yes I understand all the trouble you've been in   But hey man! I'm your friend      So, you don't have to put me on   I know you're there in the dawn   I wait outside and Cleopatra dreams on      The disciples of soul   And the husbands of woo   They don't know exactly what to do with you   They tax your broken heart   And they commision your blues      And I'm trying to understand   What you need   While you stand on the bar and wave flags at me   Step out in the rain   Cleopatra dreams on      So, you don't have to put me on   I know you're out there in the dawn   I'll wait outside and Cleopatra dreams on      Cleopatra dreams on   Cleopatra dreams on   Cleopatra dreams on   I heard her dreaming      Cleopatra dreams on   I heard her dream
