Tunic (Song for Karen) — текст песни (sonic youth)

[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"
