Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain taps roof of yellow cab
Fare paid, I watch the neon grab
Alley hides a brass tube long
Sheltered from the midnight throng
Engine off, the meter sleeps
Rain sings soft on metal steeps
Eye to lens, the world aligns
Tokyo night rewrites lines
Brass eye sees what headlights miss
Midnight drizzle turns to bliss
Taxi meter stops its counting
Night reveals what day's discounting
Wipers swipe the windshield clean
City sleeps in salt and sheen
Telescope points up to sky
Stars peek through the clouds so high
Engine off, the meter sleeps
Rain sings soft on metal steeps
Eye to lens, the world aligns
Tokyo night rewrites lines
Brass eye sees what headlights miss
Midnight drizzle turns to bliss
Taxi meter stops its counting
Night reveals what day's discounting
Twenty years on midnight runs
Counting fares and rising suns
Brass tube catches rain and light
Changes how I see the night
Fares forgotten, meter dead
Brass and glass speak instead
City hum becomes a hymn
Night unwinds from deep within
Brass eye sees what headlights miss
Midnight drizzle turns to bliss
Taxi meter stops its counting
Night reveals what day's discounting
Passenger asks where I go
I smile and tap the brass to show
Sky is closer than it seems
Dreams are caught in metal beams
Brass eye sees what headlights miss
Midnight drizzle turns to bliss
Taxi meter stops its counting
Night reveals what day's discounting
Brass eye sees what headlights miss
Tokyo night, pure bliss
