Frank Ocean – Pyramids

Album: channel ORANGE

Year: 2012

Set the cheetahs on the loose 
there’s a thief out on the move 
underneath our legions 
view they have taken
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
our skin like bronze and
our hair like cashmere
as we march to the rhythm
on the palace floor
chandeliers inside the pyramids 
tremble from the force
cymbals crash inside the pyramids 
voices fill up the halls 

Set the cheetahs on the loose
there’s a thief out on the move
underneath our legions
view they have taken
Cleopatra

The jewel of Africa
what good is a jewel that aint 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
i 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
it has killed Cleopatra 

Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds 
wake up to your girl
for now lets 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   

Pimpin 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 aint go no gas tank
but it still got wood grain 
got yo 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 

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 nigga 
but I’m still unemployed
you say its big but you take it 
ride cowgirl
but your love aint free no more 
but your love aint free no more 

 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
