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
