Lyrics

There's teardrops on your fare sheet baby
I can see them shine from here
You cast your eye over your shoulder
See who might be standing near

Your mind is like a matchhead
Casting shadows on the wall
They're dancing with the wind now baby
With every breath's rise and fall

Knights of the corner, Princes of the street
Buy yourself a taxi baby,
And run the meter cheap
Run the meter cheap

Saw you driving downtown last night
In your big old car
Just down to see your friends, I know
You weren't going very far

They're right there where you left 'em honey
At the table by the wall
They're laughing as you walk up on 'em
Just waiting for last call

Somewhere in the night time
From the corner of your eye
You get a glimpse of heaven
And it seems real close by

You could stay there forever
In the center of your mind
All you got to think about
Is what you've left behind

Out in the morning light
It makes you shade your eyes
Everything is burning bright
Makes you wanna cry

You wonder where heaven went
But in your heart you know
As you're walking to your taxi, baby
You're walking real slow

Knights of the corner, Princes of the street
Buy yourself a taxi, baby
And run the meter cheap
Run the meter cheap.
