Lonely Taxi, 2 A.M.

Lonely taxi take me home
I'm tired and a little bit drunk
What creatures watch from dark in the forest
The headlights shift like ghosts on the tree trunks
The cows blink wet black bulbs at us
The crystal sky will call the frost
And I should be in bed before the dawn

Lie down
Look up
You've got alcohol in your blood
And you're lying on the road
And no one knows
For everybody else is sleeping
Oooh, starlight
How long has it been

No creatures peer from old netted curtains
[?] Stern from the moonlit sheets
The silence echoes through the town
The streetlamps leering at the ground
Oh, I should be in bed before the dawn

Lie down
Close your eyes
This bed is like a cloud
I will drop without a sound
Just as the dawn comes round
And everybody else awakes
