La ballata dell'uomo ragno [English translation]

Mum has a weak heart and a thundering voice

Mum has a weak heart and a thundering voice

She watches us through the megaphone from the top floor,

she promises to discipline us and threatens to forgive us.

And we are all lined up in front of the bathroom door

And we are all lined up in front of a dream

And we are all in he street in front of a sign

And we are all down by the river, turning gold into tin.

But before we are done we'll poke a hole through infinity

and we'll accept a dinner invitation from the spider man.

They walk on water and through walls

They walk on water and through walls

They hide their past while talking about future

and if they find the eye of the needle, they eat it for sure.

And we are all lined up in front of the bathroom door

And we are all lined up in front of a dream

And we are all in he street in front of a sign

And we are all down by the river, turning fire into wood.

But before the slaughter we'll blow up this room

and we'll take what's left to the spider man, to the spider man.

He's just the gang leader, but he looks like a pharaoh,

He's just the gang leader, but he looks like a pharaoh

he has the eyes of a slave and the look of a master

he acts like Mitterrand but he's worse than Nero.

And we are all lined up in front of the bathroom door

And we are all lined up in front of a dream

And we are all in he street in front of a sign

And we are all down by the river, singing backup for the swan.

But before the Carnival we'll poke a hole through the Boot1

and we'll sneak away during the grand finale with the spider man.
