We kissed, time slipped
She takes the plastic pill, she plays "The Weatherman"
Top hat and tails for thrills
She painted filigrees, she was the Acid Queen
Trippin' out in the blue skies
Ask me if I care
Miss Communication
Too busy gettin' high
And me, just another dream theory
Hard edged tight lipped
Red lips and famous hands
Felt tipped electric child
Never would've known it then, I might not see her again
Lost inside your eyes
She claims "Society is just a fever dream"
For Karen
Karen
Down beneath the radar screen, she's lit up like gasoline
In tiny dancer land
Ancient history some would say
You shut the door on everythin'
See you sometime
Sidelong and glancin' still
Another state of mind
Been through a million kicks, lookin' for the one that sticks
She screams "Religion kills more than it saves a man"
She's not in your history books, lost her mind and kept her looks
Now you live in the trees and salty seas
You smell of memory
