Tunic (Song For Karen)

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»
