Taxis - Geno Samuel

Time, won’t wait for you

And you shouldn’t wait on time

It comes and goes, always running, always ticking, away

It gets right in your head, and fills you up with dread

And regret, would you give a friend like that, the time of day?

Move, you’re always moving

In and out, all the time

Going after what you want

Running away from what you don’t

It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way

Like, we stick to what we like

And look for that in life

Swinging from one place to the other

Bumping into one another

Move, you’re always moving

In and out, all the time

Going after what you want

Running away from what you don’t

It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way

It’s all the same, everybody always does it the same way

You’d think you’d learn a lesson, you’d think you’d turn away

But you’re just following your heart, your intuition

Has it ever failed you before?

Are you coming back for more?

Should you follow your elders, the ones in the know?

Or can you make up your mind at all?

It’s deep in our system, our crowded family tree

So can you really help yourself, when you feel the urge, to stay or flee?

Like bacteria, like a sperm and egg

Like so many flies, seeking out the light

Like a fish and a stream, like a snail and earth’s grasp

Like birds and the weather, up in the sky

Like people and fortune, like a girl and a guy

(All the same, everybody does it the same way)

Lights, camera, action, your spotlight keeps you firm in place

Signs, telling you, directions, but they don’t tell you anything

You, tell yourself, whatever you want to, to get yourself to wherever you’re

going

Lights, telling you, what you should want, what you should eat, should need

Count the papercuts on your fingers, after a day of counting time

Still, on the chase, for that brand new special…

Something, that you, «need», that for some reason is worth your while

Like bacteria, like a sperm and egg

Like so many flies, seeking out the light

Like a fish and a stream

Like birds and the weather, up in the sky

We, move, taxis, and everything, that we’re doing we’re doing for

Him, her, something, or someone, or for ourselves, to find what we’ve been

looking for

Move, you’re always moving

In and out, all the time

Going after what you want

Running away from what you don’t

It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way

Seek, avoid, keep, destroy, we only do, what we think is right, what makes us

smile

We change, faces, we move, places, so it’s only a matter of time before

happiness arrives

Move, you’re always moving

In and out, all the time

Going after what you want

Running away from what you don’t

It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way

We move, you’re always moving

In and out, all the time

Going after what you want

Running away from what you don’t

It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way

It’s all the same, everybody does it the same way
