Photograph, lookin' down at me
I'm lookin' at the past
Something about my family in high contrast
Something about my infancy in white and black
Something about my memories
In a photograph, a portrait of the past

Born in a flash

Polaroid, 1954
It was a Polaroid
'55 through '56
Were undestroyed, daddy was an anarchist
We can't afford
Somebody catching wind of this here

Polaroid, a portrait of before

Born in a flash
Born in a flash
A little piece of the past
Born in a flash

Photograph, a portrait of the past
Born in a flash
Born in a flash
Born in a flash
Born in a flash
