Karaoké 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

Then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

Guided, guided

I am guided by

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

Guided

Ooh ooh aah

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

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

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh 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

Aah aah

Aah

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business, mister

I don't like your fashion business, mister

And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

I don't like what happened to my sister

I don't like what happened to my sister

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

Aah

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

And I thank you for those items that you sent me

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

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

Baby

Remember me

I brought your groceries in

Ooh baby, yeah

Well, it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

Baby

Aah

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin
