St. Robinson and His Cadillac Dream from This Desert Life [Intro] G D C x4 [Verse 1]
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
From where 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

G                D        C
