First We Take Manhatten
(A cover of a track by Leonard Cohen)
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I coming now I coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I guided by a signal in the heavens
I guided by this birthmark on my skin
I guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me but you don have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don like your fashion business, mister
I don like these drugs that keep you thin
I don like what happened to your sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night and now I ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
It Father Day and everybody wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
