Taxi Cab Lyrics

[00:05.34] Unsentimental
[00:07.28] Traveling around
[00:10.44] Sure of myself
[00:12.91] Sure of it now
[00:15.87] You stand this close to me
[00:18.32] Like the future was supposed to be
[00:21.42] In the aisles of the grocery
[00:24.44] In the blocks uptown
[00:27.66] I remember
[00:30.17] Remember well
[00:33.50] But if I'd forgotten
[00:36.28] Could you tell?
[00:39.02] In the shadow of your first attack
[00:41.32] I was questioning and looking back
[00:44.48] You said, "Baby, we don't speak of that"
[00:47.48] Like a real aristocrat
[01:14.90] Compound to compound
[01:16.20] Lazy and safe
[01:19.06] Wanting to leave it
[01:22.33] Wanting to wait
[01:25.36] When the taxi door was open wide
[01:27.02] I pretended that I was horrified
[01:30.35] By the uniform clothes outside
[01:33.25] Of the court yard gate
[01:36.78] You're not a victim
[01:39.17] But neither am I
[01:41.76] Nostalgic for garbage
[01:44.47] Desperate for time
[01:47.16] I could blame it on your mother's hair
[01:49.82] Or the colors that your father wears
[01:52.81] But I know that I was never fair
[01:57.25] You were always fine
[02:34.04] Unsentimental
[02:35.58] Traveling around
[02:38.55] Sure of myself
[02:41.09] Sure of it now
[02:44.22] You stand this close to me
[02:46.98] Like the future was suppose to be
[02:49.83] In the eyes of the grocery
[02:52.68] In the blocks uptown
[02:56.15] I remember
[02:58.43] Remember it well
[03:01.37] And if I'd forgotten
[03:04.07] Could you tell?
[03:06.95] In the shadow of your first attack
[03:09.86] I was questioning and looking back
[03:12.76] You were standing on another track
[03:16.35] Like a real aristocrat
[03:18.16]
