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 |
I told you I was one of those |
You loved me as a loser |
but now your 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 |
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin |
I don't like what happened to your sister |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
And I thank you for those items that you sent me |
The monkey and the plywood violin |
I practiced every night and now I'm ready |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
Bridge: |
x4 |
Remember me, I used to live for music |
Remember me, I brought your groceries in |
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
