Always said you were a Youthquaker, Edie A stormy little world shaker Warhol's darling queen, Edie An angel with a broken wing The dogs lay at your feet, Edie Oh, wind caressed your cheek Stars wrapped in your hair, Edie Life without a care But your not there Your never there Caught up in an endless scene Paradise a shattered dream Why'd all the shit you took, Edie Your innocence dripped blood, sweet child Sweet little sugar talker Paradise dream stealer Warhol's Darling queen, Edie Innocence dripped blood, sweet child Why did you kiss the world goodbye Ciao Baby Don't you know paradise takes time It takes time, but your not there Fade away now But your not there Ciao Edie | |
