King of Rome
CHRIS LOWE, NEIL TENNANT
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
