In the sea of cars, he stands alone With his ticket book, he's in the zone Marking tires, patrolling the streets Making sure that nobody cheats But beyond the uniform, there's a tale untold, Of a man who walks the line, in the cold He walks alone, the streets are his fate, A figure of dread, the target of hate Recording your plate, with a ticket in his hand, The lonesome meter man Face is stern, his heart encased in stone Seen as a thief, in a harshly cast role Bringing pain with each ticket he meets, In the eyes of the crowd, a heartless beast Fast He walks alone, the streets are his fate, A figure of dread, the target of hate Recording your plate, with a ticket in his hand, The lonesome meter man (Oh-hey!) To most people, a specter of gloom, An omen of fines, that only brings doom Unseen to them, when he walks his rounds, He serves a mission, a purpose profound With his mere presence, spaces are freed, So for another, a chance to meet their need Each ticket, a small part in a larger scheme, A silent contribution to the city's dream He walks alone, the streets are his fate, A figure of dread, the target of hate Recording your plate, with a ticket in his hand, The lonesome meter man (Hey-heeey) The echo of footsteps, the lonely meter man, Misunderstood, bearing the weight of disdain Yet, if you see him, he'll give you a nod He might be lonely, but in the streets he's God He walks alone, the streets are his fate, A figure of dread, the target of hate Recording your plate, with a ticket in his hand, The lonesome meter man So when you pass by him, take a moment to see, The man behind the ticket, setting spaces free For in the heart of the city, he stands alone, The lonesome meter man, in a league of his own (Yeah) The lonesome meter man
