Track Insight / Lyrics

Griddle cools while coffee pot sings Yellow cab idles at the curb Steam curls up from copper kettle rings Old driver waits, don't disturb Meter's off but engine hums low He's got nowhere else to go Midnight fare, the cab waits still Kettle steam climbs windowsill Driver fills his coffee cup Night shift never gives him up Checker plate reflects the sodium glow Taxi light clicks off at last Regulars know how the night winds blow Cook serves eggs and bacon fast Meter's off but engine hums low He's got nowhere else to go Midnight fare, the cab waits still Kettle steam climbs windowsill Driver fills his coffee cup Night shift never gives him up Brass coughs soft from kitchen radio Muted trumpet, brushed drum swing Driver watches rain tap window slow Doesn't say a single thing Midnight fare, the cab waits still Kettle steam climbs windowsill Driver fills his coffee cup Night shift never gives him up Grease stains map the counter's worn terrain Cabbie's hands grip ceramic white Steam erases fatigue from his brain Dawn peeks through the morning light Midnight fare, the cab waits still Kettle steam climbs windowsill Driver fills his coffee cup Night shift never gives him up Shift ends slow, the regulars all paid Taxi pulls from curb at last Cook waves goodbye to the midnight trade Kettle's song fades quiet, fast Midnight fare, the cab waits still Kettle steam climbs windowsill Driver fills his coffee cup Night shift never gives him up Midnight fare, the road unwinds Coffee steam on glass blinds
