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”
