  • We grow old, our hearts are dim
    But our minds are free, to fly where they will
    Your beauty is faded, you're a broken shell
    It's only the weak that fall for your spell

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

    It's time to move, to the next life
    You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
    You'll turn the heads of a million men
    Lady Pharaoh, the jewel of the Nile

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

    All the wine we tasted, all the love we made
    All the strumming lyres will decorate your grave
    All the ecstasy is gone gone gone away

    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

    You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra (patra), patra (patra)
    You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra (patra), patra (patra)
    You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra (patra), patra (patra)
    You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra (patra), patra (patra)

    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 Writer/s: RIVERS CUOMO
