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 or anywhere Away from Manderley And if I were the king of Rome I couldn't be more tragic My fate to roam so far from home In search of mindless 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, no shadows cast Arriving without purpose Oh baby call me Oh baby call me 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 call me Oh baby call me today I long for your inscrutable pale face I hunger for your beautiful embrace --- King of Rome - Pet Shop Boys
