Edie

Always said you were a youthquaker, edie
A stormy little world shaker
Oh, warhol’s darling queen, edie
An angel with a broken wing

The dogs lay at your feet, edie
Oh, we caressed your cheek
Ooh, stars wrapped in your hair
Ooh, life without a care
But your not there

Oh, caught up in an endless scene, edie
Yeah, paradise, a shattered dream
Oh, wired on the pills you took, edie
Your innocence dripped blood, sweet child

The dogs lay at your feet, edie
Oh, we caressed your cheek
Ooh, stars wrapped in your hair
Ooh, life without a care
Ciao baby

Shake it, boy

Oh, sweet little sugar talker
Paradise dream stealer
Oh, warhol’s little queen, edie
An angel with a broken wing, oh

The dogs lay at your feet, edie
Oh, we caressed your cheek, well
Stars wrapped in your hair
Ooh, life without a care
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Why did you kiss the world goodbye?
Ciao baby
Don’t you know paradise takes time?
Ciao, yeah
Why did you kiss the world goodbye?
Ciao baby
Don’t you know paradise takes time?
Ooh, ciao, yeah
Ciao baby, yeah
Ciao baby
Ciao baby, yeah
Ciao baby

Edie Sedgwick (1943-1971)
Her cause of death was listed by the coroner as "accident/suicide due to accute barbituate overdose."
In a modern travesty not befitting such a sweet soul, she was buried as a pauper, in Oak Hill Cemetary, a tiny cemetary in Ballard, California. Andy Warhol did not attend the funeral.

We miss you Edie....
