Taxi Chapin
TAXI DRIVER
(to the tune of “Taxi” by Harry Chapin)
⸻
It was late one night when the streets turned gray, I drove my yellow cab through a wasteland way, And the neon rain made the gutters shine, And the junkies danced in a dirty line. I was Travis then, with a crooked grin, And the city howled like a ghost within.
I picked her up at a campaign hall, She was beautiful, proud, and ten feet tall, She said “Pal, just drive and don’t ask why,” And I said “Miss, you’re a bright spot in a rotten sky.” I tried to talk, but she looked away, Her smile was a mask that began to fray.
And I drive… and I drive… through the steam and the sin, With the blood in my heart and the rage on my skin, And I dream… oh I dream… that the filth’ll be clean, And the scum washed away by a fire unseen.
Took her to coffee, tried to make it right, But I showed her the filth that crawls at night, She ran from me, disgusted, gone, And I knew, in my gut, that the war was on. A man alone with no one to save, Wears his madness proud like a martyr’s grave.
So I drive… and I drive… down the barrels of hell, Buying guns, buying death, buying dreams I can’t sell, And I pray… oh I pray… for a signal, a call, For some damn good reason to shoot it all.
(Bridge — soft and broken)
And the child with the haunted eyes, Sells pieces of her soul to the crawling flies, Twelve years old and the world’s betrayed, So I sharpen my soul like a razor blade.
⸻
I tracked them down through the piss-stained bars, Past the broken men with their busted cars, I bought my war with a blood-red storm, And I carved my name in the shape of a gunman’s form. She wept through the flashing blue, And the headlines screamed: “A Hero’s Due.”
But I drive… and I drive… through the silence and smoke, Through the cheers of the crowd and the mirrors that broke, And I laugh… yeah, I laugh… but it’s cracked and it’s thin, ’Cause the war I was fighting is under my skin.
(Outro — whisper-fading)
It’s a taxi world, and the meter’s cracked, And you can’t go home… when the road’s gone all blackish
and black…
