Lyrics

Dreaming of Andy

6/8/2023

0 Comments

 
Hey, it’s always been my fantasy
​To be a printmaking celebrity
Call my studio The Factory
Get someone else to print for me,
The money rolling in
I wanna be like

Andy
Please let me be
Like Andy
Celebrity

Searching but it seems I haven’t found
The way into my Velvet Underground
Fame and fortune’s playing hard to get,
Have 15 minutes started yet?
Oh, when will they begin?
When will I be like Andy?

Screen printing logos left and right, but
They say they’ll sue me for copyright
What’s the answer
Gerard Malanga?*
Do anything to be rich, but
This wig’s just making me itch
I need a homie
Like David Bowie

Why won’t my star ascend? I need to know,
When will I find my Marilyn Monroe?
So far, the closest that I’ve got to show
Is scrubbing pots with Brillo
An empty Campbells’ tin
I’ll never be like

Andy
Why can’t I be
Like Andy?
Celebrity
Like Andy
Got no money
I’ll never be
Like Andy
No Candy Darling
Why can’t I be
Like Andy?

*Andy Warhol’s screenprinting assistant

​Chris Stein & Debbie Harry (Blondie), Dreaming, 1979
