Tunic (Song For Karen) - Sonic Youth

Dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me Hey what are you waiting for — feeding, feeding me I feel like Im disappearing — getting smaller every day

But I look in the mirror — Im bigger in every way

She said:

You arent never going anywhere

You arent never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

Im in heaven now — I can see you richard

Goodbye hollywood, goodbye downey — hello janis

Hello dennis, elvis — and all my brand new friends

Im so glad youre all here with me, until the very end

Dreaming, dreaming of how its supposed to be But now this tunics spinning — around my arms and knees

I feel like Im disappearing — getting smaller every day

But when I open my mouth to sing — Im bigger in every way

She said:

You arent never going anywhere

You arent never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

Hey mom!

look Im up here — I finally made it Im playing the drums again too

Dont be sad — the band doesnt sound half bad

And I remember mom, what you said

You said honey — you look so under-fed

Another green salad, another ice tea

Theres a tunic in the closet waiting just for me I feel like Im disappearing — getting smaller every day

But I look in your eyes — and Im bigger in every way

She said:

You arent never going anywhere

You arent never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

I aint never going anywhere

Goodbye richard — gotta go now

Im finally on my own — but dans got a gig

Keep the love lights glowing — little girls got the blues

I can still hear momma say: «honey dont let it go to your head»
