Track Insight / Lyrics
Taxi driver, iron fire escape
Corners of Manhattan, 8 a.m. disdain
His chambray shirt, frayed and faded
Muted green, speckled with rust
Leather seats, cracked and creased
Luggage racks, empty shelves
He's just a man, rusty and worn
Riding the lines, till the dawn
Driving past lights in the night
Fading away, to morning's first light
Foggy windows, steam rising high
Moonlight casting shadows, hazy and wide
Laughter echoes down alleyways
Whispers of secrets, fading away
He's just a man, rusty and worn
Riding the lines, till the dawn
Driving past lights in the night
Fading away, to morning's first light
Ding ding, doors slam shut with a hiss
Hefting heavy bags, weary from a miss
City life, endless and insane
Rusty wheels, the taxi's worn refrain
In the backseat, love letters unfold
Torn from envelopes, whispers untold
Midnight encounters, stolen in the night
Fleeting moments, passion's fiery light
He's just a man, rusty and worn
Riding the lines, till the dawn
Driving past lights in the night
Fading away, to morning's first light
Taxi driver, iron fire escape
Corners of Manhattan, 8 a.m. disdain
Fade to black, the cab slips away
In the city, another morning's gray.
