10cc - Taxi! Taxi! lyrics

The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face But the seconds are turning to minutes I try not to look at the grin on it's face And minutes to days But I know that it knows that I gotta get out Time to close the day Of this place Time to greet the street Time to lock the door I'm so happy I'm walking on air People staring but I don't care Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi Don't take the subway don't go that way 'snot a safe way don't go that way Gotta cross town don't want trouble Got to get there on the double She'll be thinking I'm not coming She'll be waiting I'll be running I can't wait to talk to you Tell you what I'd like to do We'll find a little restaurant In the candlelight we're holding hands A little vino for the ambiance Don't want it to The waiters are staring at me Time flies when you really Put your chairs on the tables Leave us alone we don't wanna go home But I've only got eyes for you We can let ourselves out when you've gone Time to take your home Time to say goodnight We don't wanna part Let's be together tonight Let's be together tonight Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi Don't take the subway don't go that way 'snot a safe way we'll go our way Pull the shades down screw the rat race Gotta cross town back to my place We're alone now undercover Now I'm really close to you Hang the sign out don't disturb Tell you what I want to do I wanna take you to a tropical place Beneath the stars I'll see the love in your face In the pale moonlight Following the footprints in the sand It's been a hell of a day in the city We're holding hands Now it's time to get away
