Текст песни Sonic Youth — Tunic (song For Karen)
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]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"
