Polaroid

(앨범: Happiness Not Included - 2022)

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 of me and he?

Saw right through him, and he through me
Transparent men 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 of me and he?

I've got this, erm, polaroid picture, and it 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 oil 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 of me and he?

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 then at the end of [?]
Oh, just... well, actually, just, I try to make... try to make people look good. 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, uh, 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
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 really. They usually always come out great
