Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every night when we say goodbye
I know that I can see myself as a man
When I put on that suit, I don't have to stay mute
I can talk all the time 'cause my shoulders are wide
[PreChorus]
And I'm falling like the leaves on Leningrad
I follow your footprints when I can't hold your hand
My darling, believe me, I was born to be with you
But it'll be me that the world will answer to
[Chorus]
And just for a second, I could be one of the greats
I'll be Caesar on a TV screen, champion of my fate
No one can tell me to stop, I'll have everything I want
Anyone and everyone will like me then
Everyone will like me then
[Verse 2]
When I was a child, I never felt like a child
I felt like an emperor with a city to burn
I got down on my knees, begged the men in the trees
To give me an answer, je ne veux pas penser
[PreChorus]
And it's raining like it did in Leningrad
My lover would like to buy a flat in Leningrad
And I'd trade my tongue in just to hear him every night
To talk about Red Scare and how they got it right
[Chorus]
And just for a second, I could be one of the greats
I am Caesar on a TV screen, champion of my fate
No one can tell me to stop, I'll have everything I want
Anyone and everyone will like me then
Everyone will love me then
