Frankenstein — текст песни (Aimee Mann)

(I still have the shake in my voice

And Im going to sing you this song)





I dont know you from adam, it could make my day

If you leave me a message Ill give it away

cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to

Are the ones who pretend that youre not really you





Are with any attempts here to play frankenstein

Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind

When youre building your own creation

Nothings better than real than a real

Imitation





I wont find it fantastic or think it absurd

When the gun in the first act goes off in the third

cause its rare that you ever know what to expect

From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck





If the creature is limping the parts are in place

With a mind of its own and a fist for a face

Say hello to your new creation

Now its better than real

Its a real imitation





You may wonder what the catch is

As we batten down the hatches





And when later we find that the thing we devised

Has the villagers clamouring for its demise

We will have to admit the futility of

Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love





And youll notice it bears a resemblance to

Everything I imagined I wanted from you

But at least its my own creation

And its better than real

Its a real imitation
