"I had a dream, Joe, you were standing in the middle of an open road
Your hands were raised up to the sky and your mouth was covered in foam
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me"

("I Had A Dream, Joe", 1992)

Up those stone steps I climb Salgo i gradini di pietra
Hail this joyful day's return Saluto il ritorno di questo lieto giorno
Into its great shadowed vault I go Mi inoltro nella grande volta ombrosa
Hail the Pentecostal morn Saluto il mattino di Pentecoste
The reading is from Luke 24 La lettura è tratta da Luca 24
Where Christ returns to his loved ones Quando Cristo ritorna dai suoi amati
I look at the stone apostles Guardo gli apostoli di pietra
Think that it's alright for some Penso che per qualcuno è giusto così
And I wish that I was made of stone Vorrei anch’io esser fatto di pietra
So that I would not have to see Così non dovrei vedere
A beauty impossible to define Una bellezza impossibile da definire
A beauty impossible to believe Una bellezza impossibile da credere
Una bellezza impossibile da sopportare
A beauty impossible to endure
The blood imparted in little sips Il sangue somministrato a piccoli sorsi
The smell of you still on my hands Il tuo odore ancora sulle mie mani
As I bring the cup up to my lips Mentre porto la tazza alle labbra
No God up in the sky Nessun Dio su nel cielo
No devil beneath the sea Nessun demone sotto al mare
Could do the job that you did, baby Sarebbe riuscito come hai fatto tu, piccola
Of bringing me to my knees A mettermi in ginocchio
Outside I sit on the stone steps Quando esco mi siedo sui gradini di pietra
With nothing much to do Senza niente da fare
Forlorn and exhausted, baby Disperato e spossato, piccola
By the absence of you Dalla tua assenza
