"First We Take Manhattan" lyrics
"First We Take Manhattan"
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
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 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
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...

Avantasia - "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe...
Paradise Lost - "Don't Belong" People say I'm in the way
People say never betray
Oh when I've gone, when I've gone
You'll turn to me when I've gone, when I've gone
Need a little understanding for all I've done
In another...
Beyond The Black - "Lost In Forever" Another daybreak
Another dawn to waste away
Another struggle in vain
Out of the empty
From out the void to die again
What is the reason, the gain
Somebody let me out, I'll pay the toll
Somebody free...
Within Temptation - "Mad World" Can't control the restless part of me
Bowing down our heads to love and greed
I wonder
Can't deny, it's in my head
A world in flames, the blood we shed
Walls are falling down on us
We wanna scream...
Visions Of Atlantis - "In & Out Of Love" See the mirror in your eyes
See the truth behind the lies
Your lies are haunting me
See the reason in your eyes
Giving answer to the why
Your eyes are haunting me
Falling in and out of love
In love,...
