“Ah, you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win”
                                        
                                        "First We Take Manhattan" (1986) 
I'm Your Man (1988) 
Context: 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.

“It blew me wide open. It shifted me up into what I call the inter-dimensional mind.”
