Lyrics:

Well santa’s drunk on moonshine
There’s a pistol in his belt
And a rainbow shooting colours
Through a portrait of itself
The cops are drawing silhouettes
Around another Christmas elf
And a striped cat sees it all
From its faded parcel shelf

The steam hides the evidence
Whistling as it blows
From the holes in the pavement
Where the city sewer goes
Taxi cat whistles
Another sweet adagio
and another life evaporates
beneath his glistening nose

He sees it through the windows
Of a yellow taxi cab
No there’s nothing that escapes
The senses of this cat
He ain’t sleeping, he’s observing
The hookers and the gnats
The creepers and the crawlers
In their shades and their wraps
The cops and the victims
The slappers and the slime
Taxi cat is watching
Smiling all the time

And when the night is over
He dips his claw into the ink
Stabs the words on paper
Fresh with the stink
Of the city that he lives in
the rags and the bones
the ghettoes and the bars
that taxi cat calls home
