Soft Cell - Polaroid

New York City 1981
I was lost in the junky jungle
I called into the Factory in 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 ask he “a polaroid of 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 ask he “a polaroid of he and me”

But in my head it all played out
In a silver foiled room at the Factory
Joe Dallesandro, Candy Darling
Jackie Curtis, Pope Ondine
A crazy groovy Warhol scene
The Velvet's 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 ask he “a polaroid of he and me”

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