lyrics

Taxi

Climb into my time capsule
Leave behind the windy night
Put your life in shaky hands
The blind leading the blind
Yeah we’ve got wild stories
Kings and queens in my back seat
Fans wave from every corner
Taxi

I drive the graveyard shift
Moon-tanned by midnight sun
I chase those cocky boys
When they get out and run
Lords and whores, priests and thieves
Ignore back seat lovers’ screams
Fans wave from every corner
Taxi

My city’s filled with lust tonight
Smooth wet skin under shining lights
I can feel her pulse, I need to drive
We’re electric, we’re alive
Like a pin-ball bounced from side to side
Every night’s a brand new movie
Every customer’s a star

Yeah we’ve got wild stories,
Kings and queens in my back seat
Fans wave from every corner
Taxi

I drive the Minister
When he’s undercover with his secretary
Picked up Father O Shea in drag
He said, Hi I’m Mary
I sit through the quiet hours
Just the alley cats and me
Fans wave from every corner

Taxi, taxi
Hey, taxi
