  • 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 peux 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 Writer/s: Abigail Morris, Aurora Nishevci, Elizabeth Mayland, Emily Roberts, Georgia Davies, Rhys Downing
