Lyrics

riding along in a sandpaper cadillac, somebody's strikin' a match on the back, brimstone lines marring the body so fair, brimstone lines marring the body so fair, slowly, my mind and dream change into woe, now, my car is dead and gone, lord, and i just can't carry on, changing, my thoughts become so clear to me, my car wants to be free, i know, and it's calling out to me, yeah, walking along with a gold-plated pussycat, somebody's pouring blood on its back, paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide, paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide, slowly, my mind and dream change into woe, now, my cat is all alone, i know it, and it hasn't got a bone, changing, my thoughts become so clear to me, my cat begins to sleep, and it's sleeping 'round with me, don't you know i need that thing so bad, my car and my cat are going bad, and i need everything i can, lady, aaaaa! oh, no no, this can't be the same, no, they're gonna meet me once again, yeah, they're gonna meet me once again, lord
