Soft Cell - Caligula Syndrome lyrics

[Soft Cell - Caligula Syndrome lyrics]

I want to see you crawl
As I drive by in my big black car
With police outriders and a hundred guards
Looking drop dead gorgeous
Dressed up to the nines
In the skins of several species in decline
As I set fire to your houses and your cars
I'll be dancing like a dervish in the sparks
Is this what true power feels like?
Racing round my veins like a motorbike
It's the fall of Rome my Caligula syndrome
It's the fall of Rome my Caligula syndrome

I'll display you in my game show on TV
Called 'Humiliation and Hypocrisy'
Throw an orgy for the dissolute
And the damned every kind of deviation
On demand so worship me
And fall down on your knees
Or I'll unleash another chemical disease

Is this what true power feels like?
Racing round my veins like a motorbike
It's the fall of Rome my Caligula syndrome
It's the fall of Rome my Caligula syndrome

Have I become just a little deranged?
While you're crawling on your hands and knees
Like slaves am I still desirable?
You're ever so destructible
Do you think this party's ever going to end?
Dance with me while our city is burning
Won't you dance with me
While our empire is falling
Like Nero let's make music to the
Fires of Rome

It's my Caligula syndrome
My Caligula syndrome
