Tim Buckley - Nighthawkin

I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi My fare was a shaky ol' lush So I kicked it over and took off Then he whipped out this switch blade Straight outta nowhere level to my throat He said 'See reb I've been over to the war boy' I said 'I was a combat paratrooper daddy' Well now he slupped back cool and he pocket that steel He said 'Get me down to fourth and main'
