Lyrics

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
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 Elvis, hello Janis
And all my brand new friends
I'm so glad you're all here with me
'til the 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 I look in the mirror
And I'm bigger in every way
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
Now I'm dead
I can see you
I can see you mom, and dad, and Richard
And I remember mom, what you said
"Don't let it... don't let it go to your head"
Another green salad
Another ice tea
There's a tunic in the closet
Waiting 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
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
Richard, are you there?
I can't see
Is this how it was meant to be?
I can still hear mama's voice, she said:
"Honey, don't let it go to your head"
