Jesus hangs behind the glass

Above venitian doors
玻璃后悬挂着
His window box boasts crimson flowers

Fresh cut the day before

And you couldn't find a smile
你在他的脸上找不到一丝笑容
If you nailed it to his face

But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace
但耶稣仍会满怀慈悲地注视着大地
And if Venice is sinking
如果威尼斯将要沉没
I'm going under
我也将随之沦陷
Cause beauty's religion
因为信仰是世间最美好的事情
And its Christened me with wonder
我在人们的惊奇中接受洗礼
They come in bent backed
人们驼背前行
Creeking cross the floor all dressed in black
身穿黑色的衣袍走过大厅
Candles thick as pillars

You can buy one off the floor

And the ceiling's painted gold

Mary's hair is red

The old come here to kiss their dead

And if Venice is sinking

That sagged down to the floor
接着滚落到地上
In a room that had a postcard on the door

Of Marini's Little Man

With an erection on a horse

It always leaves me laughing
