Warhol, Warhol
Born in Pittsburgh as the darkness set in
At school the children laughed at him coz of his blotchy skin
He never was able to be totally at ease
All he could do was to try his best to please
He hid behind insecuritys closed door
He covered his head to hide some more
Down in the lobby people would come and go
All talking about Warhol, Warhol
Andys folks came from near where the Zimmermans came
But Bob never did like that pop art that brought Andy fame
Andy gave Bob Elvis with that stare
Bob went and changed it for Alberts chair
(Could have been Alberts old sofa, dont matter which
We all make mistakes, aint life a bitch)
He stole Patricias hibiscus flowers
And in the early morning hours
Down in the lobby peoples come and go
All talking about Warhol, Warhol
At The Chelsea, Andy filmed his Chelsea Girls
They were seen all around the world
Eddie was Andys silver screen star
But she couldnt hide her inner hurt and scars
I met Andy with Jed in 71
All the way from The Chelsea to Camden theyd come
Andys smile and warm eyes Ill never forget
He was the kindest star Id ever met
Andy tried to frame a time in space
With tins of soup and Marilyns face
Down in the lobby peopled come and go
All talking about Warhol, Warhol, Warhol
Andy died in hospital where he didnt wanna be
The operation was supposed to be routine
His fans outside they prayed for hope
But he left in his sleep and never awoke
Valerie had shot him in 68
He survived and all thought that heaven can wait
But it caught up with him in 87
He died without making his final confession
We came with nothing and will return with nothing
In the half-deserted streets hear them muttring
Muttering as they come and they go
Muttering about the late Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol
And The Factory has now long gone
Most of the people have flown up to the Sun
And these memories of those long past years
Help me smile through the heartache and tears
The heartache and tears, the heartache and tears
Warhol, Warhol
Andy opened doors and helped the repressed be free
To help them express their hidden sexuality
Now different genders all freely come and go
All thankful to Andy Warhol
Now different genders all freely come and go
All thankful to Andy Warhol
