Track Insight / Lyrics
In alleyways of neon dreams
Jack lies in wait, his taxi gleams
Battery drained, a rusting shell
Years of memories, echoes falling
Faded paint, stripped chrome wheels
A relic of a forgotten era's deals
He puffs his cigarette with a sigh
Watching autumn suns set by and by
In this blue haze of a rusting life
He's lost his route, his final strife
Driving through the fading light
Where love and joy have taken flight
His driving gloves, now cracking skin
Leather interior, worn within
Faded 'For Hire' signs, no fares to bear
Just the creak of his cab, the crunch of leaves in the air
Park benches, empty, dark and cold
Former passengers' laughter long grown old
He stares at the dashboard clock, the minutes crawl
Wishing he could let go, to fall
In this blue haze of a rusting life
He's lost his route, his final strife
Driving through the fading light
Where love and joy have taken flight
Years of stories, graffiti scars
The life he lived, the miles he's traversed far
But now these streets, they hold no spark
Only memories of streets that used to mark
In this blue haze of a rusting life
He's lost his route, his final strife
Driving through the fading light
Where love and joy have taken flight
The last leaf falls, the engine's still
Jack's tale ends in this tired hill
A faded taxi, blue and rust
Lost in time, in the fading dust
