Leonard Cohen Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhatten Lyrics
            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
