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 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".

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 mum look, I'm up here, I finally made it.
I playing the drums again too, don't be sad,
The band doesn't sound half bad.
And I remember, mum, 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.

Goodbye Richard, gotta go now,
I'm finally on my own, but Dan's got a gig.
Keep the lovelights glowing, little girl's got the blues,
I can still hear mama say: "Honey, don't let it go to your head".
