First We Take Manhattan (Live)

First We Take Manhattan (Live) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

They sentenced me to 20 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

Guided

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I am guided by

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

Ooh ooh

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

Ah you loved me as a loser

But now you're 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

And I don't like these drugs

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 ha ha ha ha

I mean of monkey and the plywood violin

I practiced every night now I'm ready

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me I used to live for music

Baby

Remember me I brought your groceries in

Ooh baby yeah

Well it's Father's Day and oh God man of wounded

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin
