Lyrics
Hope when the road goes astray
Pray that the road rolls straight
Hold when the rope goes to fray
Play when the rope breaks
Home when there's no home to make
Lay when there's no hope to wake
Go where the shadows fall
Shine when there's no sun at all
I drive a taxi car
A wall of glass always keeps us apart
I'll take you near of far
No looking back
Always be where you are
Stoned in the throws of pain
Stoned so the pain goes away
Stoned when you're standing tall
Stoned when you can't stand at all
I drive a taxi car
A wall of glass always keeps us apart
I'll take you near of far
No looking back
Always be where you are
Whoa, when the rain halts the trade
Praise when the colors run and fade
Shout when the rockets burn
Cry when there's nothing left to learn
I drive a taxi car
A wall of glass always keeps us apart
I'll take you near of far
No looking back
Always be where you are
