Lyrics

Taxi! taxi!

Lady cab driver -- can u take me 4 a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin' 'cuz I don't know where I've been
So just put your foot on the gas -- let's drive
Lady -- don't ask questions
Promise I'll tell u no lies
Trouble winds r blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here -- I feel I'm gonna die

Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

Lady -- I'm so lonely
I know that's not the way 2 be
Don't want isolation, but the air it makes me cold
Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me
Take me 2 your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will u accept my tears 2 pay the fare?

Lady cab driver, roll up your wndow fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

Lady cab driver -- can u take me 4 a ride?

Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

This is 4 the cab u have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who r bored and believe in war
This -- yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught u how 2 kiss in designer jeans
That 1's 4-- that 1's 4-- 4 u have 2 live
This 1's 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This 1's 4 yosemite sam and the tourists at disneyland
And this 1-- ooh! yeah -- that's the 1
That's 4-- that's 4 the-- the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4-- and that's 4 u, and that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 the women, so beautifully complex
This 1's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going
This galaxy's better than not having a place 2 go
And now I know (i know)

Lady cab driver

Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
