Текст песни When I Was A Baby

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
