Taxi (出租车) - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家)[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 light [00:00:31]
Oh where you going to my lady blue [00:00:37]
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 Parkside 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]
And she didn't say anything more [00:01:16]
It took a while but she looked in the mirror [00:01:23]
And 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 [00:01:35]
And she said "How are you Harry "[00:01:41]
I said "How are you Sue [00:01:45]
Through the too many miles[00:01:49]
And the too little smiles[00:01:52]
I still remember you "[00:01:54]
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 the 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 [00:02:43]
And I took off to find the sky [00:02:46]
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]
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]
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 gate 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]
And she handed me twenty dollars [00:05:01]
For a two fifty fare she said[00:05:03]
"Harry keep the change "[00:05:06]
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 and getting stoned [00:06:21]
I go flying so high when I'm stoned[00:06:27]
