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
St Robinson and his
G D C
dream Some people are never quite what they
G D C
seem Come on baby
G D C
Come on darling, Come on, Lets get into my car and
G D C
drive
G D C
O come on get into my car and
G D C
drive she said I always do the
G D C
same things over and over
