First We Take
Manhattan

In the style of

Leonard Cohen

Intro
Instrumental
25 Seconds

They sentenced me
to twenty years of boredom

For tryin' 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 good 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 ya 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
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)

And I thank you for those
items that you sent me
ha,ha,ha

The monkey and the
plywood violin

I practiced every night
now I'm ready

First, we take Manhattan
then we take Berlin

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
