St. Robinson In His Cadillac Dream

Counting Crows

Tom: G

Intro: G D C 

(D G C )
 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 
 Maryland and Virginia have faded away 
 And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today 
 So I am endlessly waiting 

 chorus: G D C 

 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 

 verse D G C 

 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 will end up to the state that youre in 
 Your reflection approaches and recedes again. Yeah
 
 chorus:  G D C 

 And the comet is coming between 
 Me and the girl who could make it all clean 
 Out in the shadow of the modern machines 
 Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream 

 G D C 

 verse: D G C 

 I had a dream of a black car that shimmers and drives 
 Down the length of the evening to the carnivals side 
 In a house where regret is a carousel ride 
 We are spinning and spinning and spinning
 
 Theres a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell 
 Theres a girl in the basement coming out of her shell 
 And there are people who will say they knew me so well 
 I may not go to heaven.. 
 I hope that you go to hell!
 
 chorus G D C
 
 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
 
 outro G D C
 
 In his dream 
 St. Robinson in his dream. 
 Some people are never quite what they seem 
 Come on baby come on baby 
 Lets just Get into my car and drive.
