“Karen is in Rome” is one of the earliest recorded Destroyer songs. It was included on the 1995 Deströyer (known alternately as Destroyer Sings, and released in limited number on Tinker) cassette submitted to the “Bag of Tapes” feature on CBC’s “Brave New Waves” program.
The first known recording...
How many times can Karen
Go to Rome?
So many days
So many ways to be alone
You pick the hours away
Sick flowers for the day
Things come from the sun
You could never be nobody
No wonder
Joe shot the woman down, down
You pick the hours away
Sick flowers for the day
Things come from the sun
You could never be nobody
