Songtexte First We Take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen
They
sentenced
me
to
20
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
(Guided,
guided)
I'm
guided
by
this
birthmark
on
my
skin
(I
am
guided
by)
I'm
guided
by
the
beauty
of
our
weapons
(Ooh,
ooh)
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
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
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
First
we
take
Manhattan,
then
we
take
Berlin
