TAXI DRIVER

 

 

 

 

Sit behind you in your car

In the mirror there you are

Throwing deep expressive smiles

Blowing steep excessive miles

 

Taxi driver won't you stop

Stop the car and in you hop

Got you something sweet to eat

Make your brake drums overheat

 

Taxi driver let me feel

Here beneath your steering wheel

Breeding in your boxer shorts

Feeding Mama toxic thoughts

 

Taxi driver all too soon

I'll be on my honey moon

Driven by the man I hate

Drive me by it's all too late

 

Taxi driver

Take this fiver

Let this girl alone

 

Heads he wins and tails the noose

Quirky in his drugged abuse

Knocks me sideways just for kicks

Justice done he'll up his fix

 

Taxi driver drive me far

Drive me to some distant star

Nobody knows who you are

Driving round your metered car

 

Taxi driver driver Joe

Would you drive beside me Joe

Drive me where the losers go

Good to have a friend in Joe

 

Taxi driver take the wheel

Heaven knows the way I feel

Driving round so late at night

Stood in red and amber light

 

Taxi driver

Hansom driver

Let this girl alone

 

Taxi driver we're a team

Even stranger than we seem

Every light you're on the look

Every night I'm on the hook

 

Taxi driver take it slow

You can turn the lights down low

No one's there to see inside

Bide your time I've things to hide

 

Taxi driver double back

Thought I'd had a heart attack

Thought I'd been this way before

Thought I knew that hardware store

 

What you'd call a house of fun

Doesn't do for everyone

Men prepared to pay a price

Ill-prepared for sound advice

 

Coupe driver

Super driver

Let this girl alone

 

Driver I've a pinch of snuff

Put aside with other stuff

Dose me up and dope yourself

Cannot hope to cope myself

 

Taxi driver nearly home

Not so very far to roam

Set me down I'll by right back

Fetch some change to pay you Mac

 

Tax driver drive me back

Where my fortune's still intact

Drive me back it won't be far

Tucked inside your cosy car

 

Taxi driver driver Dave

Drive me onward to my grave

In reverse the road is blind

Not to what I have in mind

 

Taxi driver here I'll sleep

Take my purse it's yours to keep

Take my hearse it's all downhill

In reverse is quicker still

 

Taxi driver give it gas

Driving through the underpass

Mortal unforgiving mass

Not a living weed of grass

 

Taxi drover dead ahead

Run me over then I'm dead

Dead to everything I dread

Lay me down my weary head
