St. Robinson In His Cadillac Dream

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 sailingI was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
But Maryland and Virginia have faded away
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waitingAnd 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 dreamCarrie'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'll end up to the state that you're in
Your reflection approaches and then recedes againAnd 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 dreamI have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives
Down the length of the evening to the carnival side
In a house where regret is a carousel ride
We are spinning and spinning and spinning and nowThere's a hole in the ceiling, down through which I fell
There's a girl in a basement coming out of her shell
And there are people who will say that they knew me so wellI may not go to heaven
I hope you go to hellAnd 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"
