In Scarlet’s Walk liner notes, Tori Amos described “Taxi Ride” as being about how people react to death and the betrayal that can happen even after death.

[Verse 1]
Lily is dancing on the table
We've all been pushed too far
I guess on days like this
You know who your friends are
Just another dead fag to you
That's all
Just another light missing
On a long taxi ride, taxi ride
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm down to your last cigarette and
This "We are one" crap as you're invading
This thing you call love, she smiles way too much
[Chorus]
But I'm glad you're on my side
Sure I'm glad you're on my side still
[Verse 2]
You think you deserve a trust fund
Just because you want one
Sure you talk the talk when you need to, I fear
The whole world is starting to believe you
Just another dead fag to you
That's all
Just another light missing
In a long taxi line, taxi line
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm down to your last cigarette and
This "We are one" crap as you're invading
This thing you call love, she smiles way too much
[Chorus]
But I'm glad you're on my side
Sure I'm glad you're on my side still
[Verse 3]
Lily is dancing on the table (Lily is dancing on the air)
We've all been pushed too far today
Even a glamorous bitch can be in need
This is where you know the honey from the killer bees
[Chorus]
I'm glad you're on my side
Sure I'm glad you're on my side
Sure I'm glad you're on my side still
[Outro]
Got a long taxi ride
Got a long taxi ride
