Lyrics for First We Take Manhattan by REM:
| | | Artist: | REM |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | First We Take Manhattan | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
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 I told you I was one of those
You loved me as a loser but now your 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
I don't like these drugs that keep
you thin
I don't like what happened to your sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take
Berlin (chorus)
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the
plywood violin
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we
take Berlin
Remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your
groceries in
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we
take Berlin | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
