Goo (8-Track Demos)
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

[Bridge]
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"

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
You aren't never going anywhere
You aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere

[Verse 4]
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"
