Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
Drop the "d," are you evil?
Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
In death, Andy, do you revel?

Poor Freddy Herko
Jumped from a window
Five stories down on Cornelia Street.
He was a dancer; Andy his cancer.
A necromancer,
Morals asleep.

One of the thirteen
Beautiful boys:
The Superstars knew
What Freddy would do.

Amphetamines spoke,
And nothing broke
The plunge
But the pavement below.

Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
Drop the "d," are you evil?
Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
In death, Andy, do you revel?

Poor Edie Sedgwick
OD'ed by her husband
After Andy forgot who she was.
A porcelain look; a barbiturate hook.
All Factory made:
A byproduct of love.

She dyed her hair silver,
Silver like Andy's.
She was the mercury
To his mirror.
Spending her money,
Smoking a ciggie,
Talking on phones
In perpetual fear.

Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
Drop the "d," are you evil?
Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
In death, Andy, do you revel?

What's gonna happen
Once Andy leaves me?
I am old
And can't fit in my tights.
I am only twenty.
By thirty I'll be on
Some talk show,
A talentless has-been Tonight.

I know I’ll stop eating and
Just keep on talking.
Keep doing drugs?
That goes without say.

Great Auntie Edith
Sat for John Singer Sargent.
Mustn't forget,
Artists love Sedgwick's gay
Austereness.

Out of the shadows.
Black and white,
Whether film or paint.

Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
Drop the "d," are you evil?
Andy Warhol, are you the devil?
In death, Andy, do you revel?

Models are useful
When young and pretty.
Artists don't care when they die
And decay.
Eros is shattered,
Venus falls broken,
Beauty corrodes by the end of the day.

Andy Warhol, what did you do
To all the young people entrusted to you?
They danced off of buildings
And OD'ed on junk
So you could do silkscreens
And prefigure punk.

Andy Warhol, are you the devil?

Andy Warhol, what did you do
To all the young people entrusted to you?
They danced off of buildings
And OD'ed on junk
So you could do silkscreens
And prefigure punk.

Beauty corrodes by the end of the day.
Venus falls broken.
Venus falls broken.
Broken.
