Versuri First we take manhattan
- R. E. M.

*a cover of a track by Leonard Cohen.

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.

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
