Train Long-suffering Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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) 

A long black train [Incomprehensible] 

(There comes a train) 

Lord, a long black train 

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 

Oh baby, it gets smashed 

Oh baby, it gets smashed 

Oh baby, it gets smashed 

Oh baby, it gets smashed 

Oh baby, it gets smashed 

I kick every goddamn splinter 

Into all the lookin' eyes in the world 

Into all the laughin' eyes 

Of all the girls in the world 

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 

Name of the pain is 

Name of the pain is 

A Train Long-Suffering 

On the rails of pain 

(On the 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 its whistle in the rain 

Who's the engine driver? 

(The engine driver's over yonder) 

His name is Memory 

(His name is Memory) 

Memory is His name 

Destination, Misery 

A pain and misery 

A pain and misery 

A pain and misery 

A pain and misery 

A pain and misery 

A 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 

Ooh, the name of the pain is 

The 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 

Well, 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 

The name of the pain is 

The name of the pain is 

The name of the train is 

The name of the train is 

The name of the train is 

A Pain and Suffering
