King Of Rome Lyrics
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
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
