Lyrics Pet Shop Boys

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
