First We Take Manhattan

Ah, you loved me as a loser
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
But now you're worried that I just might win
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

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

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided
Ah, remember me, I used to live for music
I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I don't like your fashion business, mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
I practiced every night, now I'm ready

Well, it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
But you see that line there movin' through the station?
The monkey and the plywood violin
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
