Caesar on a TV Screen

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 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 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 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 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!
