Song lyrics Tunic song for karen by Sonic Youth

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

she said:
you arenīt never going anywhere
you arenīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere

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

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

she said:
you arenīt never going anywhere
you arenīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere

hey mom! look Iīm up here - I finally made it
Iīm playing the drums again too
donīt be sad - the band doesnīt 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
thereīs a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
I feel like Iīm disappearing - getting smaller every day
but I look in your eyes - and Iīm bigger in every way

she said:
you arenīt never going anywhere
you arenīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere
I ainīt never going anywhere

goodbye Richard - gotta go now
Iīm finally on my own - but Danīs got a gig
keep the love lights glowing - little girlīs got the blues
I can still hear momma say: "honey donīt let it go to your head"
