[00:54.84]They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
[01:02.73]For trying to change the system from within
[01:10.48]I’m coming now, I’m coming to reward them
[01:18.10]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[01:33.11]I’m guided by a signal in the heavens
[01:40.92]I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin
[01:48.63]I’m guided by the beauty of our weapons
[01:56.83]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[02:08.31]I’d really like to live beside you, baby
[02:14.99]I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[02:23.66]But you see that line there moving through the station?
[02:31.77]I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
[02:42.65]Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win
[02:50.42]You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline
[02:57.78]How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
[03:06.12]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[03:21.73]I don’t like your fashion business mister
[03:29.14]And I don’t like these drugs that keep you thin
[03:35.45]I don’t like what happened to my sister
[03:44.42]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[03:59.75]I’d really like to live beside you, baby
[04:07.09]I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[04:15.13]But you see that line there moving through the station?
[04:23.16]I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
[04:37.85]And I thank you for those items that you sent me
[04:45.49]The monkey and the plywood violin
[04:53.13]I practiced every night, now I’m ready
[05:01.16]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[05:13.98]I am guided
[05:17.65]Ah remember me, I used to live for music
[05:24.56]Remember me, I brought your groceries in
[05:31.20]Well it’s Father’s Day and everybody’s wounded
[05:39.97]First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
