D        G         C
Staring out of his window as the world rushes by
D         G        C
Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies
D         G         C
"I dream of ballerinas and I don't know why
D         G         C
but I see Cadillacs sailing"

[Verse 2]
D     G           C
I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
D   G        C
Maryland and Virginia have faded away
D          G        C
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
D       G         C
So I am endlessly waiting

[Chorus]
        G        D        C
And the comet is coming between
           G              D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G              D         C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                G      D   C
Walks St. Robinson and his Cadillac dream

[Verse 3]
D        G           C
Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned
D        G           C
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins
D        G           C
Where do you think you'll end up to the state that you're in
D        G            C
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again

[Chorus]
        G        D        C
And the comet is coming between
           G              D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G              D         C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                G      D   C
Walks St. Robinson and his Cadillac dream

[Instrumental]
G D C x4

[Verse 4]
D      G            C
I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives
D        G             C
Down the length of the evening to the carnival side
D      G           C
In a house where regret is a carousel ride
D      G            C
We are spinning and spinning and spinning and now...

[Verse 5]
D         G           C
There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
D         G         C
There's a girl in a basement coming out of her shell
D             G               C
And there are people who will say that they knew me so well
D               G              C
I may not go to heaven, I hope you go to hell

[Chorus]
        G        D        C
And the comet is coming between
           G              D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G              D         C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                G      D   C
Walks St. Robinson and his Cadillac dream

[Outro]
C
In his dream

G                D        C

G                D        C
