There´s a man riding this train With a black white cat A slipper and a shoe And he´s looking straight at you And he lifts the tip of his hat
And he says
Greetings to you I´ve got something to sell My travelling companion through hell It´s music in a box and voices in your head A link between the living and the dead I know you from before we were born I know you from before we were born I know you from before we were born I know you from before we were born
And the man lifted his shirt And showed a hole in his back A faded old tattoo And it looked exactly like you And the whole wide world went black
