  1. Candy Darling was a transvestite as well, a member of Andy Warhol's entourage. Born male, but always felt himself to be female, he lived his life that way to the end. Even had a brief stint in acting.

  2. Candy says I've come to hate my body
    and all that it requires in this world
    Candy says I'd like to know completely
    what others so discreetly talk about

    I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
    I'm gonna watch them pass me by
    Maybe when I'm older
    What do you think I'd see
    If I could walk away from me

    Candy says I hate the quiet places
    that cause the smallest taste of what will be
    Candy says I hate the big decisions
    that cause endless revisions in my mind

    I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
    I'm gonna watch them pass me by
    Maybe when I'm older
    What do you think I'd see
    If I could walk away from me
