tunic song for karen

Sonic Youth

[Kim]
dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me
hey what are you waiting for - feeding, feeding me
I feel like I m disappearing - getting smaller every day
but I look in the mirror - I m bigger in every way

she said:
you aren t never going anywhere
you aren t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere

I m in heaven now - I can see you Richard
goodbye Hollywood, goodbye downey - hello Janis
hello Dennis, Elvis - and all my brand new friends
I m so glad you re all here with me, until the very end

dreaming, dreaming of how it s supposed to be
but now this tunic s spinning - around my arms and knees
I feel like I m disappearing - getting smaller every day
but when I open my mouth to sing - I m bigger in every way

she said:
you aren t never going anywhere
you aren t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere

hey mom! look I m up here - I finally made it
I m playing the drums again too
don t be sad - the band doesn t sound half bad
and I remember mom, what you said
you said honey - you look so under-fed

[background voices singing various covers]

[Kim]
another green salad, another ice tea
there s a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
I feel like I m disappearing - getting smaller every day
but I look in your eyes - and I m bigger in every way

she said:
you aren t never going anywhere
you aren t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere
I ain t never going anywhere

goodbye Richard - gotta go now
I m finally on my own - but Dan s got a gig
keep the love lights glowing - little girl s got the blues
I can still hear momma say: honey don t let it go to your head
