“The song basically became about three different people, which is two different Liz Taylors and one specific Cleopatra. I tried to make it so almost every line in the song could some way apply to each of those three different people, so it’s a song written for almost the three of them, but you could...
[Verse 1]
Cleopatra
There's a reason she's taking her time
Collecting her thoughts
Like a gallery assembling a new paradigm
She turns to the strangers
Like we all do from time to time
Recounting the facts, paying her tax
And assessing her own bottom line
[Chorus]
Could've met upon the set, but it was too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
Let's relocate the set, before it's too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
[Verse 2]
Cleopatra
Toss a coin to help her decide
At the top of the field, in the stadium
Home and away appear tied
If you could only see through those wicked eyes
Blind ambition cut the ribbon to those ancient ties, hey
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Could've met upon the set, but it was too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
Let's relocate the set, before it's too late
(Talk to you later, talk to you later)
[Bridge]
You've got a lot on your mind
Like a lamb and a lion
Baby, L.A. is fine
You've got a lot on your mind, and I hope that you say it
[Verse 3]
So Cleopatra
Now she's at 20th Century Fox
Demanding her third, then overheard
They're barely recouping their costs
Cleopatra was written by Jay Ferguson (Sloan).
Cleopatra was produced by Ryan Haslett & Sloan.
