Viva La Vida Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys Christmas - Pet Shop Boys

Watch them all fall down 

Watch them all fall down 

I used to rule the world 

Seas would rise when I gave the word 

Now in the morning I sleep alone 

Sweep the streets I used to own 

I used to roll the dice 

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 

Listen as the crowd would sing 

"Now the old king is dead, long live the king" 

One minute I held the key 

Next the walls were closed on me 

Now I discovered that my castles stand 

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' 

Roman cavalry choirs are singin' 

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

My missionaries in a foreign field 

For some reason I can't explain 

I know St. Peter won't call my name 

Never an honest word 

And that was when I ruled the world 

It was a wicked and wild wind 

Blew the doors to let me in 

Shattered windows and the sound of drums 

People couldn't believe what I'd become 

Revolutionaries wait 

For my head on a silver plate 

Just a puppet on a lonely string 

Oh, who would ever want to be king? 

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' 

Roman cavalry choirs are singin' 

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

My missionaries in a foreign field 

For some reason I can't explain 

I know St. Peter won't call my name 

Never an honest word 

But that was when I ruled the world 

Watch them all fall down 

Watch them all fall down 

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