PET SHOP BOYS LYRICS - King Of Rome

"King Of Rome"



Small man, big world

Lost beyond the pale

I know you

Inside out

I... can tell the tale



Across the sky

The change of time

Last night I lost all day

I'm here and there

I'm anywhere

Away... from Manderley



And if I were

The king of Rome

I couldn't be more tragic

My fate to Rome

So far from home

In search... of my last magic



Oh... baby, come back

Oh... baby, come back to me



The desert moon

A new lagoon

We glide upon the surface

Night falls fast

My shadow's cast

Arriving... with a purpose



Oh... baby, come here

Oh... baby, come here today



And if I were

The king of Rome

I couldn't be more lonely

With so much scope

To dream and hope

Someday... you'll deign to phone me



Oh... baby, come here

Oh... baby, come here today



I long for your inscrutable, pale face

I hunger for your beautiful embrace
