It was raining hard in 'frisco

[noel]

(in my best high voice ever....)
Baby's so high that she's skying, Yes she's flying, afraid to fall. I'll tell you why baby's crying, Cause she's dying, aren't we all.

 

[tkd lisa]

There was not much more for us to talk about
Whatever we'd had once was gone.

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

there was not much more for us to talk about...

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

so I turned my cab into the driveway, past the gate and the fine-trimmed lawn.

 

[tkd lisa]

And she said, we must get together

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

But I knew it'd never be arranged

 

[tkd lisa]

She hands me 20 dollars for a 2.50 fare and says

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

"Harry, keep the change."

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Well another man might of been angry

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

and another man nmight have been hurt, but another man never would let her go...

 

[noel]

I stashed the bill in my shirt

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

and she walked away in silence. strange how you never know.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

bur we'd both gotten what we asked for, such a long, long time ago

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

you see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly. she took off to fine the footlights, I took off for the sky.

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

ok, I'll finish it.

and here she's acting happy, inside her handsome home,
and me, I'm flying in my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned.


I go flying so high when I'm stoned.
