[00:15.957] They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
[00:23.723] For trying to change the system from within
[00:31.591] I'm coming now,I'm coming to reward them
[00:39.450] First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
[00:48.919]
[00:55.412] I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
[01:03.131] I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin
[01:10.853] I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
[01:18.675] First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
[01:30.164] I'd really like to live beside you,baby
[01:36.872] I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[01:45.936] But you see that line that's moving through the station?
[01:53.838] I told you,I told you,I told you,I was one of those
[02:05.434]
[02:09.837] Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
[02:17.555] You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
[02:25.070] How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
[02:33.059] First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[02:48.926] I don't like your fashion business mister
[02:56.755] And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
[03:04.466] I don't like what happened to my sister
[03:12.297] First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
[03:24.067] I'd really like to live beside you,baby
[03:30.389] I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
[03:39.591] But you see that line that's moving through the station?
[03:47.517] I told you,I told you,I told you,I was one of those
[03:58.222]
[04:03.129] And I thank you for those items that you sent me
[04:11.055] The monkey and the plywood violin
[04:18.931] I practiced every night, now I'm ready
[04:26.844] First we take Manhattan
[04:32.918] then we take Berlin
[04:35.914]
[04:42.031] Ah remember me
[04:44.323] I used to live for music
[04:50.284] Remember me
[04:52.626] I brought your groceries in
[04:58.000] Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
[05:05.718] First we take Manhattan
[05:12.242] then we take Berlin
