Tunic [Song For Karen] lyrics

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

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"
