When I Was a Baby
The New Pornographers
When I was baby I looked like a pig
my nose a snout and my ears were too big
My mother would poke at the hole
at the back of my head where my brain was exposed
I didn't know it then but never again
would recapture those wonderful days
When I was a baby I fell down a well
I landed deep down in the furnace of hell
The devil would rock me to sleep
with stories of cities of ivory and gold
It took a long, long time before I could
escape from that terrible hole
When I was a baby I lived in a crib
I crawled on floors and ate with a bib
But then I was taken away
and was sold to the circus for trinkets and beads
Now I lie awake at night and dream about
what I would do if I was ever set free
