Lyrics

Andy, it's me

Haven't seen you in a while

I wished I talked to you more

When you were alive

I thought you were self-assured

When you acted shy

Hello, it's me

I really miss you

I really miss your mind

I haven't heard ideas like that

For such a long, long time

I loved to watch you draw

And watch you paint

But when I saw you last

I turned away

When Billy Name was sick

And locked up in his room

You asked me for some speed

I though it was for you

I'm sorry if I doubted your good heart

Things always seem to end before they start

Hello, it's me

There was a great gallery show

Your cow wallpaper

And your floating silver pillows

I wish I paid more attention

When they laughed at you

Hello, it's me

"Pop goes pop artist"

The headline said

"Is shooting a put-on?

Is Warhol really dead?"

You get less time for stealing a car

I remember thinking as I heard my own record in a bar

They really hated you

Now all that's changed

But I have some resentments

That can never be unmade

You hit me where it hurt, I didn't laugh

Your diaries are not a worthy epitaph

Oh, well, now Andy

I guess we've gotta go

I wish some way, somehow

You like this little show

I know this is late in coming

But it's the only way I know

Hello, it's me

Goodnight, Andy

Goodbye, Andy
