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
