First We Take Manhattan Lyrics

First We Take Manhattan (Leonard Cohen)

THEY SENTANCED 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 THE 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 THAT'S MOVING
THROUGH THE STATION

I TOLD YOU
I TOLD YOU
I TOLD YOU I WAS ONE OF THOSE

I DON'T LIKE YOUR FASHION BUSINESS MISTER
I DON'T LIKE THOSE DRUGS THAT KEEP YOU THIN
I DON'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SISTER

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN
THEN WE TAKE BERLIN

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
