Sonic Youth Karen Revisited song lyrics

Heard your 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 tipped electric child

She takes the plastic pill, she plays "The Weatherman"

She screams "Religion kills more than it saves a 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

Trippin' out in the blue skies

You shut the door on everythin'

Too busy gettin' high

And me, just another dream theory

Lost inside your eyes

She's not in your history books, lost her mind and kept her looks

Down beneath the radar screen, she's lit up like gasoline

Been through a million kicks, lookin' 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 glancin' still

In tiny dancer land

We kissed, time slipped

Hard edged tight lipped

See you sometime

Ask me if I care

For Karen

Miss Communication

Karen
