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
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
And just for a second I can 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
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
And it´s raining like it did on 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
And just for a second I can 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
