Lyrics Taxi

It was rainin' hard in Frisco

I needed one more fare to make my night

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down

She got in at the light

Oh where you goin' to my lady blue

It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain

She just looked out the window

She said Sixteen Parkside Lane

Somethin' about her was familiar

I could swear I've seen her face before

But she said

I'm sure you're mistaken and she didn't say anything more

It took a while but she looked in the mirror then she glanced at the license for my name

A smile seemed to come to her slowly

It was a sad smile just the same

And she said

How are you Harry

I said How are you Sue

Through the too many miles and the too little smiles

I still remember you

It was somewhere in a fairy tale

I used to take her home in my car

We learned about love in the back of a Dodge

The lesson hadn't gone too far

You see she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find the footlights

I took off to find the sky

Woah I've got somethin' inside me to drive a princess blind

There's a wild man

Wizard

He's hidin' in me

Illuminatin' my mind

Oh I've got somethin' inside me

Not what my life's about

'Cos I've been lettin' my outside tide me over 'till my time runs out

Baby's so high that she's skyin'

Yes she's flyin'

Afraid to fall

I'll tell you why baby's cryin'

'Cos she's dyin'

Aren't we all

There was not much more for us to talk about

Whatever we had once was gone

So I turned my cab into the driveway

Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns

And she said

We must get together

But I knew it'd never be arranged

And she handed me twenty dollars for a two fifty fare

She said

Harry keep the change

Well another man might have been angry and another man might have been hurt

But another man never would have let her go

I stashed the bill in my shirt

And she walked away in silence

It's strange how you never know

But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for such a long, long time ago

You see she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find the footlights

I took off for the sky

And here she's actin' happy inside her handsome home

And me I'm flyin' in my taxi

Takin' tips and gettin' stoned

I go flyin' so high when I'm stoned
