He had a black eye
He was proud of
Like some of his friends
It made him feel somewhere outside
Of everything and everywhere he'd been
Like his brothers
He emptied himself
And played it safe
Like their father
He wanted to remember
But he almost always
Forgot what he was gonna say

Black eye
Black eye

When he realized
That this one was here to stay
He took down
All the mirrors in the hallway
And thought only of his younger face

Black eye
Black eye

Clever white youths with attitudes
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey

All you little white boys with nice haircuts
We'll entertain you so
And play the little electric guitar
to the little finger beat

Clever white youths with attitude
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey

All you little white boys with decent haircuts
We'll satisfy your entertainment needs
And play the little electric guitar
to the little finger beat

Clever white youths with attitude
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey

it's four in the morning, the end of december
i'm writing you now just to see if you're better
new york is cold, but i like where I'm living
there's music on clinton street all through the evening.
i hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now, i hope you're keeping some kind of record.

yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?

ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
and you came home without lili marlene

and you treated my woman to a flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife.
well i see you there with the rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well i see jane's awake --

she sends her regards.

and what can i tell you my brother, my killer
What can i possibly say?
i guess that i miss you, i guess i forgive you
i'm glad you stood in my way.

if you ever come by here, for jane or for me
your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
i thought it was there for good so i never tried.

and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear

-- Sincerely, L. 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'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, 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 ...

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

I am guided

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

Time goes by I can feel myself growing old
Burning inside makin' this boy turn out cold
What's wrong,
What's right
I don't care when I hate my life
What's wrong,
What's right
Y'know people don't care when they hate their life
But how can I explain personal pain
How can I explain personal pain
How can I explain my voice is in vain
How can I explain the deep down

Driving, driving, driving,
Weredriving, weredriving, weredriving

Hey
Been trying to meet you
Hey
Must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at my door
Whores in my bed
But hey
Where
Have you
Been
If you go
I will surely die
We're chained

Uh
Said the man to the lady
Uh
Said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores like a choir
Go uh all night
And Mary ain't you tired of this
Uh
Is
The
Sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks We're chained

Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby
Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby

There's nothin' to it,
Just say you wanna do it
Open up your heart,
And let the lovin' start

Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby
Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby

Hold me tight, aaah...
With all your might
Now let your lovin' flow,
Real sweet and slow

Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby
Woman, take me in your arms
Rock me baby

Woohoo - Take me in your arms and rock me
Woohoo - Take me in your arms and rock me
Woohoo - Take me in your arms and rock me
Woohoo - Take me in your arms and rock me

She got a smile and it seems to me
Remind me of childhood memories
Her everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
And now and then, when I see her face
and she takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long, I'd probably brake down and cry

Oohh, sweet child o'mine (x2)

She got eyes of the bluest skies
that if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a wanting place
where as a child, I'd hide behind
And pray for the thunder in the sky
to quietly pass me by

Oohh, sweet child o'mine (x2)

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Friday I can get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Oooh hoo

Won't you tell your Dad, "Get off my back"?
Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It Black" Rock and Roll is here to stay
Come inside, girl, it's OK And I'll shake you
Oooh hoo

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's over, let me know
If it's nowhere, I can go
I won't make you
Oooh hoo

Don't lay it on me, on me
Don't you leave me here

I like to sit and cry in front of my TV
I like to think of words to scream
About all it is I am and all it is I wanna be
Over and over
I laugh and cry
But the movie it ain't as real as I want it to be
I like to sit and cry over and over again
And the tears they please me
They are all I need to know
As I zap from show to show
And a man on a bike comes on
He says:
"Man, my wheels don't turn if the road don't feel right"
I say: "I'll stand still
And wait for the skies to burn tonight"
So I can
Bury you, it's all I can do
So you won't come through
At least for a little while
My life will be alright
I like to sit and watch it all I can
Crying like a man
And leave it for another day
I'll stay here in my precious cage
And lose it while I can
Cut it off by minute roots
And stick it in the ground
And bury you, it's-a all I can do
So you won't come through
At least for a little while
My life will be alright
You see
I been waiting
Here in doubt
But I don't fear your lightshow
And I don't fear your eyes
Not anymore
Everytime we score

I like to sit and cry
And on that score
I think I'll cry a little more
I think I'll keep the TV on
I thin I'll cry for all night long
I'm sure that it won't do me no good
No, but it will
Shake you off of me momma
And cut you loose from me girl
It means the world to
Bury you, it's-a all I can do
So you won't come through
At least for a little while
My life will be alright

We're going out tonight to break some things
'Cause that's the kinda song we sings
We'll put your clothes on fire and then your hair
We're kinda ugly, but we don't care

shoo-bedo-bedo-a
chop-pa-pa-pada-pada-pa-pa

And we're proud of it ! |
We're so proud of it ! |(x3)

We are !
