TAXI DRIVER
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Insights from the Taxi Driver
Lyrics
Rich or poor, he don't care
Regardless of wealth, the taxi driver is indifferent.
Most important is avoiding puke everywhere
Priority is given to avoiding vomit in the cab.
The cab is a crownvic from eightythree
The taxi is an '83 Crown Victoria.
V8 boat from Tennessee.
It's a V8 boat from Tennessee.
One gallon coffee he drinks every shift
He consumes a gallon of coffee per shift.
Knows every person, given millions lift.
Knows everyone, providing millions of rides.
Tell him you're secrets he do listen to you
Willing to listen to passengers' secrets.
Knows you're past and furture too
Knows both past and future of passengers.
Taxi driver knows where you live
Aware of passengers' home addresses.
Taxi driver we tell him all our sins
Passengers confide in him about their sins.
Taxi driver save me, save me
Seeking salvation, asking the taxi driver to save.
Save me save me save me save me hmm Taxi driver
Repeated plea for salvation from the taxi driver.
The passengers status they can shove up their ass.
Disregards the social status of passengers.
The money they pay him is his only cause.
Money earned from fares is the main motivation.
Mustache dearest thing he'll ever own.
His mustache is a cherished possession.
Boss pays him shit explains the nokiaphone.
Low pay explained with the reference to a Nokia phone.
Every night he chooses who to be,
Every night he adopts a new persona.
New custumer new personality.
Each new customer brings a new personality.
Chicken taquito, his definition of heaven.
His idea of heaven is a chicken taquito.
Twentyfourseven at seveneleven.
Working continuously, a reference to a 24/7 convenience store.
Taxi driver knows where you live.
Knows passengers' addresses, reinforcing privacy concerns.
Taxi driver we tell him all our sins.
Continued confessions of sins to the taxi driver.
Taxi driver save me, save me.
Repetition of the plea for salvation from the taxi driver.
Save me save me save me save me hmm Taxi driver
Reiterative plea for salvation, emphasizing desperation.
He drives you away, we've all been there
Acknowledging the universal experience of being driven away.
Taxi driver knows where you live
Reiteration of the taxi driver's knowledge of passengers' addresses.
Taxi driver we tell him all our sins
Continued confessions of sins to the taxi driver.
Taxi driver save me, save me
Repeated plea for salvation from the taxi driver.
Save me save me save me save me hmm Taxi driver
Final plea for salvation, expressing deep need.
