King Of Rome — Pet Shop Boys

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
