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
