Caesar on a TV Screen Lyrics by The Last Dinner Party
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 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
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
