Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Train Long-Suffering

Woo-woo-woo
In the name of pain
(In the name of pain and suffering)
In the name of pain
(In the name of pain and suffering)
There comes a train
(There comes a train)
Yeah
A long black train
(There comes a train)
Lord, a long black train

Woo-woo, woo-woo

Punched from the tunnel
(The tunnel of love is long and lonely)
Engines steaming like a fist
(A fistful of memories)
Into the jolly jaw of morning
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Oh baby, it gets smashed
(You know that it gets smashed)
Oh baby, it gets smashed
(You know that it gets smashed)
Oh baby, it gets smashed

I kick every goddamn splinter
Into all the looking eyes in the world
Into all the laughing eyes
Of all the girls in the world
Oo-woo
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
Name of the pain is
Name of the pain is
Name of the pain is
The name of the pain is
The name of the pain is
A train long-suffering

Yeah, on rails of pain
(On rails of pain and suffering)
There comes a train
(There comes a train long-suffering)
On rails of pain
(On rails of pain and suffering)
Oh baby, blow it's whistle in the rain

Woo-woo, woo-woo

Who's the engine driver?
(The engine drivers over yonder)
His name is memory
(His name is memory)
Memory is his name
(Woo-woo)
Destination, misery
(Pain and misery)
Oh, pain and misery
(Pain and misery)
Oh, pain and misery
Pain and misery
Hey, hey
(Pain and misery)
Hey, that's a sad lookin sack
That's a sad lookin sack
That's a sad lookin sack
And the name of the pain is
The name of the pain is
The name of the pain is
Name of the pain is
Name of the pain is
A train long-suffering

There is a train
(It's got a name)
It's a train long-suffering
Oh, lord a train
(A long black train)
Lord Of pain and suffering
Each night so black
(Oh yeah, so black)
And in the darkness of my sack
I'm missing you baby
(I'm missing you)
And I just dunno what to do
(Dunno what to do)
(Train long-suffering, train long-suffering)
(Train long-suffering, train long-suffering)
Oh, she ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
She ain't never comin' back
(Train long-suffering, train long-suffering)
(Train long-suffering, train long-suffering)
(Train long-suffering, train long-suffering)
And the name of the pain is
Name of the pain is
Name of the train is
The name of the train is
The name of the train is
Pain and suffering, ooh
