Horsehair kisses worn in toe
Midnight glow puts on a show
Cabbie wisdom in the grain
Rain or shine I take the strain
I'm the sole witness to the grind
Leather breathing leaving time behind
Synth waves crash on a polished shore
I buff the shine right to the core
Meter runs on elbow grease
Quiet pride brings sweet release
No shortcuts on this city street
Honest work makes ends meet
I'm the sole witness to the grind
Leather breathing leaving time behind
Synth waves crash on a polished shore
I buff the shine right to the core
Pixel ghosts chase pixel dreams
Neon reflections in the seams
Joystick clicks a rhythmic beat
Leather gets the VIP treat
The cobbler hands know every scar
Map of miles both near and far
He don't speak much lets the work talk
Midnight wisdom steady walk
Rain taps down on the grate outside
Brush don't care just flows the tide
Sun comes up on the avenue
Fresh shine waiting for the queue
I'm the sole witness to the grind
Leather breathing leaving time behind
Synth waves crash on a polished shore
I buff the shine right to the core
Soles wear thin but stories stay
Brushed to life at end of day
Taxi meter arcade score
Craft remains at the very core
I'm the sole witness to the grind
Leather breathing leaving time behind
Synth waves crash on a polished shore
I buff the shine right to the core
Sole witness forever more
Horsehair rests on the wooden block
Dawn breaks heavy on the clock
