Am Taxi Chelsea Lyrics
Chelsea by AM Taxi
[Verse 1]
Chelsea pours the contents from the suitcase to the bed
Shakes her head and packs it up again
After renovated teeth, she swears anyone can leave here
The hard part is knowing when
Yeah, we dance to the traffic where the DuPage River passes
All the bars she can't go into anymore
I guess when every pissed off bouncer in every pissed on club
Knows your name
It hardly ever gets you far
[Refrain]
She said, "I've been in this place now for weeks
Out where the trains never shake me to sleep"
We could build a great lake and cool off this town
If you fall, then I'll follow you down
[Verse 2]
Chelsea combs the mattress for something else that matches
Her boss wants her to stay in style
He bought her a brand new Cadillac
She said, "I won't take a bribe, but I'll drive one around for a while"
And on the coldest of evenings
She flew out like a hummingbird
It got down to the negative teens that night
But by then she climbing her upper twenties
With double on the rocks
Out of Midway on a one-way flight
[Refrain]
She said, "I've been on this island for weeks
Out where the waves never wash me to sleep"
I'll fall in love if it kills me or leaves me to drown
If you die, then I'll follow you down
[Chorus]
Chelsea, I heard things about you I don't want to believe
But maybe I could look out for you if you look out for me
You could start over somewhere if it helps
And I could try with someone else
Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me
Look out
[Verse 3]
Chelsea drags her suitcase into cool, harsh light
She came back home on a red eye flight
And she found me where she left me
About halfway down a bottle
Writing songs for negative teens tonight
When I get done with work, she'll be working up to gin
She says, "I don't know how you can live in the dark"
But somewhere underneath that leather jacket beats a leather heart
And it beats and it beats and it pulls me apart
[Refrain]
She said, "I've been in this town now for years
And all these stories could bring you to tears"
We could cut all these waves down to size
We could hold onto time when it flies
[Chorus]
Chelsea, I heard things about you I don't want to believe
But maybe I could look out for you if you could look out for me
You could start over somewhere if it helps
And I could try with someone else
Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me
Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me
Chelsea pours the contents from the suitcase to the bed
Shakes her head and packs it up again
After renovated teeth, she swears anyone can leave here
The hard part is knowing when
Yeah, we dance to the traffic where the DuPage River passes
All the bars she can't go into anymore
I guess when every pissed off bouncer in every pissed on club
