The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face
but the seconds are turning to minutes
and minutes to days
i try not to look at the grin on itand's face
but i know that it knows that i gotta get out
of this place
time to close the day
time to lock the door
time to greet the street
iand'm so happy iand'm walking on air
people staring but i donand't care
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
donand't take the subway donand't go that way
and'snot a safe way donand't go that way
gotta cross town donand't want trouble
got to get there on the double
sheand'll be waiting iand'll be running
sheand'll be thinking iand'm not coming
I canand't wait to talk to you
tell you what iand'd like to do
weand'll find a little restaurant
a little vino for the ambiance
in the candlelight weand're holding hands
Time flies when you really
donand't want it to
the waiters are staring at me
but iand've only got eyes for you
leave us alone we donand't wanna go home
put your chairs on the tables
we can let ourselves out when youand've gone
time to take your home
time to say goodnight
we donand't wanna part
letand's be together tonight
letand's be together tonight
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
donand't take the subway donand't go that way
and'snot a safe way weand'll go our way
gotta cross town back to my place
pull the shades down screw the rat race
weand're alone now undercover
hang the sign out donand't disturb
Now iand'm really close to you
tell you what i want to do
i wanna take you to a tropical place
beneath the stars iand'll see the love in your face
in the pale moonlight
weand're holding hands
following the footprints in the sand
itand's been a hell of a day in the city
now itand's time to get away
