Taxi (出租车) (Karaoke track With Demo Vocal) (In the style of Harry Chapin) - Backtrack Professional Karaoke Band[00:00:00]
It was raining hard in 'Frisco[00:00:18]
I needed one more fare to make my night[00:00:22]
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down[00:00:26]
She got in at the lights[00:00:30]
"Oh where you going to my lady blue "[00:00:36]
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain[00:00:40]
She just looked out the window she said[00:00:47]
"Sixteen Park side Lane"[00:00:51]
Something about her was familiar[00:01:05]
I could swear I'd seen her face before[00:01:08]
But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"[00:01:12]
Then she didn't say anything more[00:01:16]
It took a while but she looked in the mirror[00:01:22]
Then she glanced at the license for my name[00:01:27]
A smile seemed to come to her slowly[00:01:31]
It was a sad smile just the same[00:01:34]
And she said "How are you Harry "[00:01:41]
I said "How are you Sue [00:01:45]
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles[00:01:49]
I still remember you"[00:01:53]
It was somewhere in a fairy tale[00:02:16]
I used to take her home in my car[00:02:20]
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge[00:02:24]
The lesson hadn't gone too far[00:02:28]
You see she was gonna be an actress[00:02:34]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:02:38]
She took off to find the footlights[00:02:42]
I took off to find the sky[00:02:47]
Oh I've got something inside me[00:03:03]
To drive a princess blind[00:03:08]
There's a wild man wizard[00:03:11]
He's hiding in me illuminating my mind[00:03:14]
Oh I've got something inside me[00:03:22]
But it's not what my life's about[00:03:27]
'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me[00:03:30]
Over till my time runs out[00:03:36]
Baby's so high that she's skying[00:03:58]
Yes she's flying afraid to fall[00:04:04]
I'll tell you why baby's crying[00:04:13]
She's dying aren't we all [00:04:20]
There was not much more for us to talk about[00:04:34]
Whatever we had once was gone[00:04:39]
So I turned my cab into the driveway[00:04:42]
Past the gates and the fine trimmed lawns[00:04:46]
And she said "We must get together"[00:04:53]
But I knew it'd never be arranged[00:04:57]
Then she handed me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare[00:05:01]
She said "Harry keep the change"[00:05:05]
Well another man might have been angry[00:05:11]
And another man might have been hurt[00:05:15]
But another man never would have let her go[00:05:19]
I stashed the bill in my shirt [00:05:24]
And she walked away in silence[00:05:30]
It's strange how you never know[00:05:34]
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for[00:05:38]
Such a long long time ago[00:05:42]
You see she was gonna be an actress[00:05:50]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:05:55]
She took off to find the footlights[00:05:59]
And I took off for the sky[00:06:03]
And here she's acting happy[00:06:09]
Inside her handsome home[00:06:13]
And me I'm flying in my taxi[00:06:17]
Taking tips getting stoned[00:06:21]
I go flying so high when I'm stoned[00:06:27]
