Polaroids

When the light drops
And the curtains call
And summer leaves drop in the fall
The queen of man takes a dying breath
What of mankind will be left?

Packaged up in a silver sleeve
A girl and boy about fifteen
Set the timer, beat the flash
Wish they took that picture back

(Polaroids) You just missed it
(Polaroids) They prove I existed
(Polaroids) Fading to gray
(Polaroids) They led me astray
(Polaroids) You just missed it
(Polaroids) They prove I existed
(Polaroids) Aw, they're fading to gray
(Polaroids) They led me astray

A vain still frame
You stuck in time
Stolеn light
Considered mine
Slips a black disc
Into my hand
Falling through it
Likе grains of sand, hey

Packaged up in a pack of five
Photographs of me and mine
Aimlessly, the slide I waved
But the colors never changed

(Polaroids) You just missed it
(Polaroids) They prove I existed
(Polaroids) Fading to gray
(Polaroids) They led me astray
(Polaroids) You just missed it
(Polaroids) They prove I existed
(Polaroids) Fading to gray
(Polaroids) They led me astray

When the lights drop
And the curtains call
And summer’s leaves drop in the fall
The queen of man takes a dying breath
What of mankind will be left?
