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
