Born In a Flash
Mother Mother
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
