Frankenstein

Since you were a child, the ugliest in the neighborhood
You were called Franco, also known as Frankenstein
I used to tease you with a somewhat cruel taste
Of boys who have everything and are never satisfied
Red-haired and with pimples on your face
By sixteen, you were already six foot seven
A beanpole who revealed with a smile
Braces on your teeth and a heart full of whys
You defended me by spinning like blades
Those huge hands you never used
To hit others for fear of hurting them
And now that life has tricked you and you don't know...
How are you, old Frankenstein
In a hospital bed too small
Everyone at the bar greets you
And you cry big and bulky as you are
Frankenstein, when will you heal
I promise we'll buy that raft
And with the sea, the wound will close, you'll see
And I'll teach you to swim in life, Frankenstein
Franco, we'll go back to the stadium on Sundays
Then late at night, we'll end up in a pizzeria
And dreams will be, as always, our video
Because we have the blood of the outskirts inside us
Because we all lost a girl
Who married another, handsome and richer than us
And Francesca never saw your beauty
Franco, because the soul is invisible, you know
We'll throw ourselves back like crazy into the studio
Because ignorance is the worst disease
Little duckling bigger than a wardrobe
Hiding a swan that would like to fly away...
Frankenstein, wake up now
Don't leave me here alone like a fool
Franco, come on, don't give up
Tell me you'll get angry and defend yourself this time
Frankenstein, when you heal
I'll come to pick you up with two hookers in the car
And we'll spend in one night
All my money and yours
We'll fight again
This life, Frankenstein
