Sonic Youth - Tunic (Song For Karen)

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
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

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 underfed"

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
The band's got a gig
Keep the love lights glowing
Little girl's got the blues
I can still hear mama say
"Honey, don't let it go to your head"
