They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom d a
For trying to change the system from within d a
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them d a
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin G F E a

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens d a
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin d a
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons d a
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin G F E a

I'd really like to live beside you, baby C G
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes C a
But you see that line there moving through the station C a
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those G F E a

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
I'd really like...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey end the plywood violin
I practice 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
I'd really like...
