Karen Revisited

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

She takes a plastic pill

She plays the weatherman

She screams "Religion kills

More than it saves you, man"

She painted filigrees

She was the acid queen

She claims society

Is just a fever dream

[Verse 2]

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 your eyes

[Chorus 2]

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

Looking for the one that sticks

Never would've known it then

I might not see her again

[Bridge]

Top hats 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

See you

Some time

Ask me if I care

Karen

Miss communication

Karen

Karen
