Staring out of his window as the world rushes by
|
Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,
|
"I dream of ballerinas and I don't know why?
|
But I see Cadillac's sailing.
|
I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
|
Maryland and Virginia have faded away
|
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
|
so I am endlessly waiting
|
The comet is coming between
|
me and the girl who could make it all clean
|
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
|
walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
|
Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned
|
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins,
|
From where you think you will end up to the state that you're in
|
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again. Yeah
|
And the comet is coming between
|
me and the girl who could make it all clean
|
Out there in the shadow of the modern machines
|
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
|
I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives
|
down the length of the evening to the carnival's side
|
In a house where regret is a carousel ride
|
We are spinning and spinning and spinning
|
There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
|
There's a girl in the basement coming out of her shell
|
And there are people who will say they knew me so well
|
I may not go to heaven..
|
I hope you go to hell!
|
The comet is coming between
|
me and the girl who could make it all clean
|
Out there in the shadow of a modern machine
|
walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
|
In his dream.
|
St. Robinson in his dream.
|
Some people are never quite what they seem
|
Come on baby come on darling
|
Lets just Get into my car and drive.
|
She says I always do the same things over and over
