First We Take Manhattan

Originally performed by Leonard Cohen

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

I dont like your fashion business mister
And I dont like these drugs that keep you thin
I dont like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Id 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
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now Im ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin!

Then we take Berlin…
