Pet Shop Boys

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
