Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ridin' along in a sandpaper Cadillac, yeah
Somebody's strikin' a match on the back
Brimstone lines marrin' the body so fair, yeah
Brimstone lines marrin' the body so fair
[Verse 2]
Slowly
My mind and dream change into woe, now
My car is dead and gone, Lord
And I just can't carry on
[Verse 3]
Changin'
My thoughts become so clear to me
My car wants to be free, I know
And it's callin' out to me, yeah
[Verse 4]
Walkin' along with a gold
Plated pussycat, yeah
Somebody's pourin' blood on it's back
Paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide
Paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide
[Verse 5]
Slowly
My mind and dream change into woe, now
My cat is all alone, I know it
And it hasn't got a bone
[Verse 6]
Changin'
My thoughts become so clear to me
My cat begins to see
And it's sleepin' 'round with me
Don't you know I need that thing so bad?
My car and my cat are goin' bad
[Verse 7]
And I need everything I can lay down
Oh, no, this can't be the same, now
They're gonna meet me once again, yeah
