PET SHOP BOYS - Viva La Vida / Domino Dancing lyrics

rate me

<br>

Watch them all fall down<br />

Watch them all fall down<br />

<br />

I used to rule the world<br />

Seas would rise when I gave the word<br />

Now in the morning I sleep alone<br />

Sweep the streets I used to own<br />

<br />

I used to roll the dice<br />

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes<br />

Listen as the crowd would sing<br />

"Now the old king is dead, long live the king"<br />

<br />

One minute I held the key<br />

Next the walls were closed on me<br />

Now I discovered that my castles stand<br />

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand<br />

<br />

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'<br />

Roman cavalry choirs are singin'<br />

Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br />

My missionaries in a foreign field<br />

For some reason I can't explain<br />

I know St. Peter won't call my name<br />

Never an honest word<br />

And that was when I ruled the world<br />

<br />

It was a wicked and wild wind<br />

Blew the doors to let me in<br />

Shattered windows and the sound of drums<br />

People couldn't believe what I'd become<br />

<br />

Revolutionaries wait<br />

For my head on a silver plate<br />

Just a puppet on a lonely string<br />

Oh, who would ever want to be king?<br />

<br />

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'<br />

Roman cavalry choirs are singin'<br />

Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br />

My missionaries in a foreign field<br />

For some reason I can't explain<br />

I know St. Peter won't call my name<br />

Never an honest word<br />

But that was when I ruled the world<br />

<br />

Watch them all fall down<br />

Watch them all fall down<br />

<br />

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

<br><br><br><br>
