First We Take Manhattan (Leonard Cohen Cover)

04/05 • SIRENIAN SHORES [EP] • 2004

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
 [bad word] now, [bad word] to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these [bad word] 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, 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, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin!

Then we take Berlin...
