You might think I'm crazy but I'm serious
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness
Was only part-time bliss
You can take a bowIt was all just one big night out on the town
Riding in your limousine
We turned right, then I said wrong

Hey, take a ride in a big yellow taxi
I'm not here to feed your insecurities
