sandpaper cadillac
Singer: joe cocker
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
