They s[A#m]entenced me to twenty years of b[Fm]oredom
For tr[A#m]ying to change the system from with[Fm]in
I'm c[A#m]oming now, I'm coming to rew[Fm]ard them
F[D#]irst we take Manh[C#]attan,[C7] then we take Berl[Fm]in
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 r[G#]eally like to l[G#sus4]ive bes[G#]ide you, b[D#]aby[C#]
I l[D#]ove your b[G#]ody and your sp[G#sus4]irit an[G#]d your cl[Fm]othes[Fsus4] [Fm]
But you s[G#]ee that line there m[G#sus4]oving thr[G#]ough the st[Fm]ation?[Fsus4] [Fm]
I t[D#]old you, I t[C#]old you, I t[C7]old you, I was one of th[Fm]ose
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, I told you, I was one of those
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
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
