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 - & 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 & 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 - & 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"
