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
Ah! 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
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 Ah! 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 Explain Request ×
