"Taxi Dancer" lyrics

Well, she started out
Just to be a dancer
Gonna make her living dancin'
In the Broadway shows
So she hitchhiked 'cross country
From Paso Robles to the Big Red Apple
Where your dreams are made
Your debts must be paid on time

I'll hold you close, taxi dancer
And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams
How they faded away
I'll hold you close, taxi dancer
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage

Well, she wasn't used to
Livin' in the city
So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
At the Gramercy Park Hotel
And all her auditions, you know
Didn't turn out so pretty
So she took a job dancin'
At the bar down the street as well

I'll hold you close, taxi dancer
And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams
How they faded away
I'll hold you close, taxi dancer
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage

Well, I don't know how long or how far
Her fortune did take her
But I heard she sits alone drunk
Downtown on Forty-Second Street
And sometimes an old butch
Will slip a quarter into the jukebox
And she'll stagger to the bar
And dance with that girl for free

I'll hold you close, taxi dancer (Taxi dancer)
And I'll listen to how you outgrew your dreams
How they faded away (Faded away)
I'll hold you close, taxi dancer (Taxi dancer)
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage

I'll hold you close
I'll hold you close
Hold you close, taxi dancer
I'll hold you close, taxi dancer
Ah, faded away, faded away
Hold you close, taxi dancer
Ah, faded away, faded away
Hold you close, taxi dancer
Ah, faded away, faded away
Hold you close, taxi dancer
