First We Take Manhattan

Leonard Cohen

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 the signal in the heaven
I`m guided by this birthmark on my skin
I`m guided by the beauty of our weapons

R: 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 trough the station?
   I told you, I told you, I 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 knouw 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

R: I`d really...

And thank you for those items that you send me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practice every night and now I`m ready

I remember I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought you groceries in
Well, it`s Father`s Day, and everybody`s wounded
