Em C
Set the cheetahs on the loose
B Am
There's a thief out on the move
Em C
Underneath our legion's view
B Am
They have taken Cleopatra
Em
Run run run come back for my glory
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
C
Bring her back to me
(Cleopatra, hey oh Patra ehh ehh Cleopatra)
B
Run run run the crown of our pharaoh
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)

The throne of our queen is empty
(Hey oh' Patra, Cleopatra)

Em
And we'll run to the future
C
Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
A rocky, rocky world
B
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
Am
As we march to the rhythm
On the palace floor
Em
Chandeliers inside the pyramid
C
Tremble from the force
B
Cymbals crash inside the pyramid
Am
Voices fill up the halls
Em C
Set the cheetahs on the loose
B Am
There's a thief out on the move
Em C
Underneath our legion's view
B Am
They have taken Cleopatra
Verse:
The jewel of Africa
(Jewel)
What good is a jewel that ain't still precious
How could you run off on me?
How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you laying down with Samson
And his full head of hair
Found my black queen Cleopatra
Bad dreams Cleopatra
Remove her
Send the cheetahs to the tomb
Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

You showed up after work I'm bathing your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
Can we make love before you go
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that nigga
But I'm still unimplored
You say it's big but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
That's right
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
