Polaroid

New York City 1981
I was lost in the junkie jungle
I called in to The Factory on Union Square
For a Warhol introduction

He saw me and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi" and he said "Gee"
And he asked me and I asked he
A polaroid in he and me?

Saw right through him and he through me
Transparent man and mannequin
"Great" I said and he said "Gee"
And that was it and that was we

He saw me and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi" and he said "Gee"
And he asked me and I asked he
A polaroid in he and me?

I've got this erm polaroid picture
And it err just takes the face of the person
I-I haven't learned how to do the body yet
But they usually always come out great

But in my head it all played out
In a silver-foiled room at The Factory
Joe Dallesandro Candy Darling
Jackie Curtis and Pope Ondine
A crazy groovy Warhol scene
The Velvets playing "Heroin"
And Nico danced in oiled-wheel lights
And Lou Reed had me in his sights

He saw me and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi" and he said "Gee"
And he asked me and I asked he
A polaroid in he and me?

I'm the new girl in town
And I meet Rita Hayworth Jane Fonda Lana Turner Kim Novak
All the glamour girls
And I interviewed them and kept them apart
And I then at the end of my gig I murdered them

Oh just well actually
I try to make
Try to make people look good
That's that's what I did

New York City 1981
I was lost in the junkie jungle
Called to The Factory on Union Square
For a Warhol introduction
And now if we exist at all
A polaroid stuck on my wall
Feel like my dreams
Were really just nothing at all

He saw me and he said "Hi"
And I said "Hi" and he said "Gee"
And he asked me and I asked he
A polaroid in he and me?

This picture just takes a picture of um
Just the face and that seems to err I don't know
There's something about the camera
That makes it look err make it just um just right
And it it takes their head shots
It's like getting a passport picture
I um y'know take a half a picture from a picture
And another picture and from

(A polaroid, polaroid, polaroid, polaroid...)

I'm the new girl in town
And I meet Rita Hayworth Jane Fonda Lana Turner Kim Novak
All the glamour girls

And it just takes the face of the person
I... I haven't learned how to do the body yet
I-I've done it but not not really
They usually always come out great

(A polaroid, polaroid, polaroid, polaroid...)
