Lyrics
Cash Cab
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As up above then so below
Who pays?
Rat king of the ward
Fell slack on the course
Then silvered away
What does he retain?
He can't remember a thing
Fleeing the chalk of his mess
All of the smart ones repress
They get amnesia, and now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead
What a night to forget
Only an empty head says
"I wanna be with somebody. "
It went below and as I foretold
You'll pay
How wisely he roars
The chariot lord
Dragged every which way
Tell me, what do you retain?
You can't remember a thing
Torn between too many heads
All of the bad ones repress
They get amnesia, and now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead
I want amnesia just to please you again
Here goes another empty threat:
I wanna be with somebody just like me
Someone who laughs at a crashed car rental
Someone who hurts in an accident
Someone as scared of abandonment
And all I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts
All I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me
I'll do all this when you pay me
