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
|
