Testo When I Was Born - Peter Dinklage feat. Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner, Víkingur Ólafsson & London Contemporary Orchestra
Testo della canzone When I Was Born (Peter Dinklage feat. Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner, Víkingur Ólafsson & London Contemporary Orchestra), tratta dall'album Cyrano (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Sir, when I was born, the nurses laughed hysterically
They'd never seen anything quite like me, apparently
I'll never forget it, I can still hear them joking
One said, "My goodness, what has God been smoking?"
From when I was born, I learned to control my tears
When they carried me home through town
I left a trail of broken mirrors
Yes, when children see me, they scream and run away
You're absolutely right, Halloween's my favorite holiday
I am a monster, I am a mutant, a freak of nature
I've heard all the hateful, ugly nomenclature
Can't you see I'm much more than you think?
I've heard it all so many times
Everybody knows I'm so much more than a freak
If you wanna try to hurt me, you better get in line
You just have to say it, I get it, it makes sense
When you have your kind of talent for clever, vicious comments
My heart's not even angry, it's just the way it breaks
And don't be so tough on God, everybody makes mistakes
Yes, one sight of me could make a statue cry
Guess what else? When bluebirds land
On me, they shit themselves and die
Whichever way I look at you, can't find a tasteful side
A specimen like you belongs in formaldehyde
Yes, what you've heard is true, I am not a rumor
I'm living proof that God has a sick sense of humor
