Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon puddles glisten on the pavement floor
Truck headlights casting shadows on the wall
The city's alive through my cracked glass doors
But in this cab, I'm stuck, waiting for it all
Late night confessions from thirsty strangers
Secrets whispered over ballpark franks and beers
Their windows rolled down, siren songs to strangers
But I'm driving home alone, through empty city sneers
Lonesome lamps flicker, shadows on the wall
I'm a ghost in transit, passing through it all
Wired to the rhythm, the city never sleep
But in this shell of darkness, I'm the one who's weak
Screeching tires and hushed arguments, unending stream
Flashing blue and red, police lights on speedin' schemes
Delivery boys and lost souls, stumbling on the dream
I'm just a taxi driver, navigating through their schemes
Late night confessions from thirsty strangers
Secrets whispered over ballpark franks and beers
Their windows rolled down, siren songs to strangers
But I'm driving home alone, through empty city sneers
Lonesome lamps flicker, shadows on the wall
I'm a ghost in transit, passing through it all
Wired to the rhythm, the city never sleep
But in this shell of darkness, I'm the one who's weak
Maybe I'm just tired, maybe I'm just old
These city streets are changing, I'm stuck in the cold
But when the sun rises, the city awakes
And I'll be driving again, as the day begins to make
Lonesome lamps flicker, shadows on the wall
I'm a ghost in transit, passing through it all
Wired to the rhythm, the city never sleep
But in this shell of darkness, I'm the one who's weak
(pausing at a stoplight, gas pedal pressed to the floor)
The engine hums, the world creeps forward once more
I spin the wheel, head back to an empty floor
Cracked glass till dawn, I'll ride the city's roar
Just another taxi driver, missing out on more
