Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan

Leonard Cohen

First We Take Manhattan

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

Mirror lyrics:

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Ah remember me, I used to live for music

I am guided

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
The monkey and the plywood violin
And I thank you for those items that you sent me

(I'd really like to live beside you, baby ... )

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like what happened to my sister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like your fashion business mister

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win

I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those)
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
(I'd really like to live beside you, baby

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
For trying to change the system from within
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
