מילים לשיר First We Take Manhattan של Leonard Cohen

אין גירסה קלה

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

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

Bridge:

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
