Lyrics

0:00Pyramids - Frank Ocean
0:06Set the cheetahs on the loose
0:24There's a thief out on the move
0:33Underneath our legion's view
0:42They have taken Cleopatra Cleopatra
0:51Run run run come back for my glory
0:54Bring her back to me
0:57Run run run the crown of our pharaoh
1:05The throne of our queen is empty
1:08And we'll run to the future
1:29Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
1:33A rocky rocky world
1:36Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
1:40As we march to the rhythm
1:42On the palace floor
1:44Chandeliers inside the pyramid
1:48Tremble from the force
1:52Cymbals crash inside the pyramid
1:58Voices fill up the halls
2:02Set the cheetahs on the loose
2:11There's a thief out on the move
2:19Underneath our legion's view
2:27They have taken Cleopatra Cleopatra
2:37The jewel of Africa
2:41What good is a jewel that ain't still precious
2:47How could you run off on me
2:49How could you run off on us
2:51You feel like God inside that gold
2:55I found you laying down with Samson
3:00And his full head of hair
3:03Found my black queen Cleopatra
3:08Bad dreams Cleopatra
3:12Remove her
3:19Send the cheetahs to the tomb
3:22Our war is over our queen has met her doom
3:31No more she lives no more serpent in her room
3:40No more it has killed Cleopatra Cleopatra
3:50Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
4:55Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra Cleopatra
5:00I watch you fix your hair
5:04Then put your panties on in the mirror Cleopatra
5:08Then your lipstick Cleopatra
5:11Then your six inch heels
5:14Catch her
5:16She's headed to the pyramid
5:18She's working at the pyramid tonight
5:22Working at the pyramid
5:25Working at the pyramid tonight
5:29Working at the pyramid
5:33Working at the pyramid tonight
5:37Working at the pyramid
5:40Working at the pyramid tonight
5:44Working at the pyramid
5:47Working at the pyramid tonight
5:52Pimping in my convos
5:53Bubbles in my champagne
5:56Let it be some jazz playing
5:58Top floor motel suite twisting my cigars
6:01Floor model TV with the VCR
6:05Got rubies in my damn chain
6:08Whip ain't got no gas tank
6:11But it still got woodgrain
6:13Got your girl working for me
6:16Hit the strip and my bills paid
6:19That keep my bills paid
6:20Hit the strip and my bills paid
6:26Keep a ni**a bills paid
6:27She's working at the pyramid tonight
6:35Working at the pyramid
6:38Working at the pyramid tonight
6:42Working at the pyramid
6:45Working at the pyramid tonight
6:50Working at the pyramid
6:53Working at the pyramid tonight
6:57Working at the pyramid
7:00You showed up after work I'm bathing your body
7:07Touch you in places only I know
7:10You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
7:14Can we make love before you go
7:17The way you say my name makes me feel like
7:21I'm that ni**a
7:22But I'm still unemployed
7:25You say it's big but you take it
7:31Ride cowgirl
7:32But your love ain't free no more baby
7:40But your love ain't free no more
7:45She's working at the pyramid tonight
7:48Working at the pyramid
7:51Working at the pyramid tonight
7:55Working at the pyramid
7:58That's right
8:00Working at the pyramid tonight
8:02Working at the pyramid
8:05Working at the pyramid tonight
8:10Working at the pyramid
8:13Working at the pyramid tonight
Pyramids - Frank Ocean
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra  Cleopatra
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
And we'll run to the future
Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
A rocky  rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to the rhythm
On the palace floor
Chandeliers inside the pyramid
Tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramid
Voices fill up the halls
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra  Cleopatra
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
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
Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra  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
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
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 ni**a bills paid
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
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 ni**a
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
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
