Cleopatra Street lyrics

Cleopatra Street

Stucco ceiling with stars

Stucco ceiling with stars looking over

Carpet three inches deep 

On the formative floors

Cleopatra Street

Sidewalk covered in cars

Sidewalk covered in cars every summer

Memories incomplete

But the feelings were ours

So you take two of everything 

And put it in your measuring cup

You can have the joy it brings

Think you've got it all sewn up

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing  

Cleopatra Street

I walked the same 30 yards, 

Walked the same 30 yards last October

It knocked me off my feet

How we reached for the stars

You and Sally and Steve

Me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee taking pictures

There's nothing left to repeat

It'll just have to be

So you take two of everything 

And put it in your measuring cup

You can have the joy it brings

Think you've got it all sewn up

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing 

No one could show us how 

We all have to move on now

No one ever let us see 

Every side to this divine divide

Divide

So you take two of everything 

And put it in your measuring cup

You can have the joy it brings

Think you've got it all sewn up

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang

Chippin' away at the same thing  

Cleopatra Street

Memories incomplete

That'll have to be fine
