Taxi Cab Unsentimental Driving around Sure of myself Sure of it now You were standing this close to me Like the future was supposed to be In the aisles of the grocery And the blocks up-town
I remember Remember well But if I'd forgotten Could you tell? In the shadow of your first attack I was questioning and looking back You said 'Baby, we don't speak of that' Like a real aristocrat
Compound to compound Lazy and safe Wanting to leave it Wanting to wait When the taxi doors opened wide I pretended I was horrified by the uniformed clothes outside and the courtyard gate
You're not a victim
But neither am I Nostalgic for garbage Desperate for time I could blame it on your mother's hair Or the colors that your father wears But I know that I was never fair You were always fine
Unsentimental Driving around Sure of myself Sure of it now You were standing this close to me Like the future was supposed to be In the aisles of the grocery and the blocks up-town
I remember Remember it well And if I'd forgotten Could you tell? In the shadow of your first attack I was questioning and looking back You were standing on another track Like a real aristocrat
