CAPO ON 5TH


Intro -       

 
They sentenced me to twenty 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
 
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
 
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
   
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 I told you I was one of those

 
You loved me as a loser but now your 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
 
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
 
I don't like what happened to your 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 I told you I was one of those

 
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
 
The monkey end the plywood violin
 
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
   
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

 
Remember me, I used to live for music
 
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
 
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
   
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
