Frank Ocean - Pyramids (2012)



[Hook]
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra

[Bridge]
Run run run, come back for my glory
Bring her back to me
Run run run, the crown of our pharaoh
The throne of our queen is empty

[Verse 1]
We'll run to the future, shining like diamonds
In a rocky world, rocky-rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to rhythm on the palace floor
Chandeliers inside the pyramid, tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramid, voices fill up the halls

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
The jewel of Africa
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

[Outro]
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

*Second part*

[Verse 1]
Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl for now, let's call her Cleopatra
I watch you fix your hair
Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six-inch heels, catch her
She's headed to the pyramid

[Hook]
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

[Verse 2]
Pimping in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playing
Top floor motel suite twisting my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank but it still got woodgrain
Got your girl working for me
Hit the strip and my bills paid that keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bills paid, keep a nigga bills paid

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
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 unemployed
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

[Hook]

Franco Battiato - Impressioni Di Settembre (2002)



Quante gocce di rugiada intorno a me
Cerco il sole ma non c'
Dorme ancora la campagna forse no
E' sveglia, mi guarda, non so
Gi l'odore della terra, odor di grano
Sale adagio verso me
E la vita nel mio petto batte piano
Respiro la nebbia, penso a te
Quanto verde tutto intorno, e ancor pi in l
Sembra quasi un mare d'erba
E leggero il mio pensiero vola e va
Ho quasi paura che si perda
Un cavallo tende il collo verso il prato
Resta fermo come me
Faccio un passo e lui mi vede, gi fuggito
Respiro la nebbia, penso a te
No, cosa sono adesso non lo so
Sono un uomo in cerca di s stesso
No, cosa sono adesso non lo so
Sono solo il suono del mio passo
E intanto il sole tra la nebbia filtra gi
Il giorno come sempre sar
Cerco il sole ma non c'
Ma non c'
Cerco il sole ma non c'.

Andy Williams - Moon River (1961)



Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(moon river, wider than a mile
(I'm crossin' you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the
Bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me.
