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've seen Cadillacs sailing



And I was born on the shores of 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



Yeah, but 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



Well, 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

And 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



Yeah but 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

Oh come on baby, come on darlin', come on

Lets just get into my car and drive



Oh, come on lets just get into my car and drive

Just don't always do the same thing over and over
