Counting Crows St. Robinson in His Cadillac Dream/Kid Things Lyrics

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 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 twin
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins
From where you think you'll end up to state that you're in
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again

But the comet is coming between
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
Out there in the shadow of the modern machines
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
There is a girl in a basement coming out of her shell
There are people who will say that they knew me so well
Hey i may not go to heaven but i hope that you go to hell

The comet is coming between
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
And there in the shadows of modern machines
Walks st. robinson in his cadillac dream
In his dream
St. robinson in his dream
Some people are never quite what they seem
Come on baby, come on darling, come on
Let's just get into my car and drive
Come on, get into my car and drive
She says i always do the same things over and over...

What's there that makes you want to be lonely
What's there to keep you sitting at home
He'd always say no no no as if he wanted you to be hungry
Well the same things you're missing
could get you into something else

Better leave when to stay is only
nothing but being alone
What I wanted you to know, is

Kid things
seemed like nothing at all
Kid things
make it better than it was
Kid things
seemed like nothing at all
but kid things
make it better than it was

Hey what you got that makes you want to be lonely
Hey what you got that makes it a better way to be
She said no no no I can't get any love and it's a Sunday.
I said oh yeah what makes you think I wanted it that way.
Cause one or two more smiles from you and
I don't need anything else.
What I wanted you to know, is

Kid things
seemed like nothing at all
Kid things
make it better than it was
We're just kids
we spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing
but I sleep better when I'm not alone

What I want right now
is just some... more...
gimme more..

Hey what you think
is you're not getting any younger
What I know is that you're not really very old
I know you wanna say no no no and
It feels much better in the summer
well if it isn't warm where you're sittin'
then kitten come on in out of the cold
Cause all I know is when I'm with you
well I don't need anything else.
What I wanted you to know is,

Kid things
seemed like nothing at all
and kid things
make it better than it was
We're just kids...
we spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing..
so I sleep better
when I'm not alone
Kid things
seemed like nothing at all
Kid things
make it better than it was
We're just kids...
Just like driving a car...
It's a kid thing
and the further out the closer in you are.
