Leonard Cohen - The Genius lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - The Genius lyrics]
For you i will be a ghetto jew
And dance and put white stockings
On my twisted limbs and poison wells
Across the town
For you i will be an apostate jew
And tell the Spanish priest of the blood vow
In the Talmud and where the bones
Of the child are hid
For you i will be a banker jew
And bring to ruin a proud old hunting king
And end his line
For you i will be a Broadway jew
And cry in theatres for my mother
And sell bargain goods beneath the counter
For you i will be a doctor jew
And search
In all the garbage cans for foreskins
To sew back again
For you i will be a Dachau jew
And lie down in lime with twisted limbs
And bloated pain no mind can understand
And dance and put white stockings
On my twisted limbs and poison wells
Across the town
For you i will be an apostate jew
And tell the Spanish priest of the blood vow
In the Talmud and where the bones
Of the child are hid
For you i will be a banker jew
And bring to ruin a proud old hunting king
And end his line
For you i will be a Broadway jew
And cry in theatres for my mother
And sell bargain goods beneath the counter
For you i will be a doctor jew
And search
In all the garbage cans for foreskins
To sew back again
For you i will be a Dachau jew
And lie down in lime with twisted limbs
And bloated pain no mind can understand
