They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom, For trying to change the system from within
Cm Gm F Eb D Gm
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them, First we take Man-hattan, then we take Ber-lin
Cm Gm Cm Gm
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 Man-hattan, then we take Ber-lin
[Chorus]

I'd really like to live beside you, baby, I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
Cm Gm F Eb D Gm
But you see that line there moving through the station, I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those
[Outro]

I don't like your fashion business mister, I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

then we take Ber-lin, then we take Ber-lin
