[Verse 1]

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

[Breakdown]
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty

You're older, you're colder

You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra-patra-patra
[Outro]
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
