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 

Ohh 
Ohhhh, Aahhhh, Ohhh 

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