Meter runs on midnight fare
Rain writes code on glass repair
Stalker stands by glowing pool
Arcade hums a synthetic rule
Tokens spill like quicksilver
Droplets fall and shake and shiver
Cabbie lights a cigarette
Smoke curls round the silhouette
Quarter water runs deep
Secrets that the drivers keep
Eight ball sinks in electric blue
Cabbie knows what strangers do
Fare box clicks a steady beat
Wipers clear the winding street
Stalker traces tile and grout
Arcade screams without a shout
Tokens spill like quicksilver
Droplets fall and shake and shiver
Cabbie lights a cigarette
Smoke curls round the silhouette
Quarter water runs deep
Secrets that the drivers keep
Eight ball sinks in electric blue
Cabbie knows what strangers do
Dispatch crackles through the night
Coordinates in cold street light
Pool reflects a pixel sky
Stalker blinks a digital eye
Meter stops the clock gets paid
Ripples spread in phosphor shade
Cabbie drives the morning through
Quarter water knows him too
Quarter water runs deep
Secrets that the drivers keep
Eight ball sinks in electric blue
Cabbie knows what strangers do
Morning breaks on vinyl seat
Receipts pile at driver feet
Arcade sleeps in standby mode
Pool keeps secrets overload
Quarter water runs deep
Secrets that the drivers keep
Eight ball sinks in electric blue
Cabbie knows what strangers do
Quarter water runs deep
Quarter water knows you too
Meter resets for another ride
Quarter water turns the tide
