Sonic Youth - Karen Revisited lyrics

[Lee]

heard yr name the other day

it's been a long long time

ancient history some would say

another state of mind

you smell of memory

felt tip'd electric childe

she takes a plastic pill/she plays the weatherman

she screams ‘religion kills more than it save ya, man'

she painted filigrees/she was the acid queen

she claims society is just a fever dream

now you live in the trees and salty seas

tripping out in the blue skies

you shut the door on everything

too busy getting high

and me, just another dream theory

lost inside yr eyes

she's not in yr history books/lost her mind, kept her looks

down beneath the radar screen/ she's lit up like gasoline

been thru a million kix/looking for the one that sticks

never would've known it then/i might not see her again

top hat and tails for thrills

red lips and famous hands

sidelong and glancing still

in tiny dancer land

we kissed/time slipped

hard edged/tight lipped

come home/sometime

ask me/if i care

for karen

miss communication

karen

stuck in isolation

karen

karen
