Sonic Youth - Tunic (Song For Karen)

[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"
