"Into the mercy seat I climb, my head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries to enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied."

("The Mercy Seat", 1988)

Tell me how long's the train been gone?

Ditemi, quanto lontano è andato il treno?

Tell me how long's the train been gone?

Ditemi, quanto lontano è andato il treno?

And was she there?

E lei era lì sopra?

And was she there?

E lei era lì sopra?

Tell me how long's the train been gone?

Ditemi, quanto lontano è andato il treno?

Tell me how many coaches long?

Ditemi, quante carrozze aveva?

Tell me how many coaches long?

Ditemi, quante carrozze aveva?

What did she wear?

Com'era vestita lei?

And what did she wear?

Com'era vestita lei?

Tell me how many coaches long?

Ditemi, quante carrozze aveva?

Tell me when did the whistle blow?

Ditemi, quando avete sentito il fischio del treno?

Tell me when did the whistle blow?

Ditemi, quando avete sentito il fischio del treno?

And did she tie her hair?

E lei aveva i capelli legati?

And did she tie her hair?

E lei aveva i capelli legati?*

Tell me when did the whistle blow?

Ditemi, quando avete sentito il fischio del treno?*
