Текст песни 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 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 iced 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 girls got the blues
I can still hear Mama say, "Honey, don't let it go to your head"
