T u n i c (Song for Karen Carpenter)

by

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

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

good-bye Hollywood, good-bye Downey, hello Janis

hello Dennis, Elvis, and all my brand new friends

I'm so glad you're 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 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

good-bye Richard, gotta go now

I'm finally on my own

but then i start again

keep the love lights glowing

little girl's got the blues

I can still hear mom say

honey don't let it go to your head
