It’s a story to be forgotten
it’s a story not to be told
it’s a rather complicated story
it’s a miserable story.
It started with the moon on the place
and it ended with a river of ink
it’s a story with a foregone conclusion
it’s a miserable story.
A different story for normal people
a common story for special people
what else do you need from these lives
now that heaven has struck them in the middle
now that heaven has sculpted them at the edge.
For the sign that is left
don’t repeat that you’re so upset
don’t ask us anymore how it went
in any case you know it’s a miserable story. A different story for normal people
a common story for special people
what else do you need from these lives
now that heaven has struck them in the middle
now that heaven has sculpted them at the edge.
It’s a story of the outskirts
it’s a story of one strike and off you go
it’s a rambling story
it’s a miserable story.
A beach at the feet of a bed
Termini Station at the feet of the heart
one rather agitated night
one miserable night.
A different night for normal people
a common night for special people
what else do you need from these lives
now that heaven has struck them in the middle
now that heaven has sculpted them at the edge.
It’s a story dressed in black
it’s a story of the “low empire”
it’s a covered up story
it’s a miserable story.
It’s a story for carabinieri,
it’s a story for hairdressers
it’s a slandered story
or it’s a miserable story.
