Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream
Carries down in her basement all toe shoes and twin (?)
There's a girl in the mirror screams when she says,
"Where you think you will end up is state that you’re in
Your reflection approaches and recedes again"...Yeah
And the comet is coming between
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
Out in the shadows of the modern machines
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream

I had a dream of a black car that shimmers and drives
Down the length of the evening to the carnival’s side
In a house where regret is a carousel ride
We are spinning and spinning and spinning
There’s a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
There’s a girl in the basement coming out of her shell
And there are people who will say they know you so well
"I may not go to heaven,
And I hope that you go to hell."
The comet is coming between
Me and the girl who could make it all clean.
In the shadows of the modern machines
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream.
In his dream.
St. Robinson in his dream.
Some people are never ever what they seem.
Come on baby come on darlin
Lets just get into my car and drive.
Come on and get into my car and drive.
