REM - First We Take Manhattan Lyrics
Leonard Cohen)They sentenced me to twenty years of boredomFor trying to change the system from withinI'm coming now I'm coming to reward themFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI'm guided by a signal in the heavensI'm guided by this birthmark on my skinI'm guided by the beauty of our weaponsFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI'd really like to live beside you, babyI love your body and your spirit and your clothesBut you see that line there moving through the stationI told you I told you I told you I was one of thoseYou loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might winYou know the way to stop me but you don't have the disciplineHow many nights I prayed for this: to let my work beginFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI don't like your fashion business, misterI don't like these drugs that keep you thinI don't like what happened to your sisterFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)And I thank you for those items that you sent meThe monkey and the plywood violinI practiced every night and now I'm readyFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinRemember me, I used to live for musicRemember me, I brought your groceries inIt's Father's Day and everybody's woundedFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
