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
