Cleopatra Street Lyrics - Blood/candy - Posies

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 

Chipping away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang 

Chipping away at the same thing 

Cleopatra Street, I walked the same 30 yards 

I 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 

Chipping away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang 

Chipping 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 

Chipping away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang 

Chipping away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang 

Chipping away at the same thing 

We're like a chain gang 

Chipping away at the same thing 

Cleopatra Street, memories incomplete 

That'll have to be fine
