Lyric First We Take Manhattan

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I m coming now, I m coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I m guided by a signal in the heavens
I m guided by this birthmark on my skin
I m guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I d 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, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you re worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don t 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 t like your fashion business mister
And I don t like these drugs that keep you thin
I don t like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I d really like to live beside you, baby ...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I m ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it s Father s Day and everybody s wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
