St. Robinson In His Cadillac Dream lyrics

Artist  : Counting Crows 
Song : 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 sailing
I 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 waiting
And 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'll end up to the state that you're in
Your
reflection approaches and then recedes
again
And 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.
I 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 now...
There'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 well'
I may not go to
heaven
I hope you go to hell
And 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.
