Verse 1:
In the city that never sleeps, lights flicker like lies,
Leon Voss with his heart racing, and fear in his eyes.
Running hard from the sirens, he leaps into the dark,
A desperate man’s salvation in a yellow cab’s spark.
Pre-Chorus:
‘Step on it!’ he screams, with the world closing in,
But the driver just smirks, like he knows where he’s been.
‘You might regret this ride, boy, it’s no ordinary fare,
Once you hop in this cab, it’s a journey rare.’
Chorus:
Welcome to the C.A.B., where time bends and sways,
A chance encounter lurking in the neon haze.
Through dimensions and timelines, let the chaos unfold,
With the Junkie and the C.A.B., we rush into the bold.
Verse 2:
When Leon wakes from the shadows, it’s a world that’s bizarre,
A futuristic garage, not a taxi, but a star.
Agent Gabriel Shaw waits, his face lined with fate,
‘You’re not supposed to be here, oh boy, you’re too late.’
Pre-Chorus:
‘What have I done?’ Leon stammers, fear in his veins,
‘Don’t send me to prison; let me break these chains.’
‘Anything, huh?’ Shaw smirks, piercing deep with his gaze,
But desperation is fuel, can he earn it in this maze?
Chorus:
Welcome to the C.A.B., where time bends and sways,
A chance encounter lurking in the neon haze.
Through dimensions and timelines, let the chaos unfold,
With the Junkie and the C.A.B., we rush into the bold.
Bridge:
In a world made of chances, and choices unknown,
Leon breathes in the madness; it's his chance to atone.
‘Train me, I beg you,’ his voice is a plea,
‘Let me rewrite my fate, let me break free.’
Chorus:
Welcome to the C.A.B., where time bends and sways,
A chance encounter lurking in the neon haze.
Through dimensions and timelines, let the chaos unfold,
With the Junkie and the C.A.B., we rush into the bold.
Outro:
So here’s to the journey, to the twists and the turns,
Leon Voss with a fire, it’s his lesson to learn.
In the heart of the city where dreams sometimes die,
A chance encounter will ignite his sky.

A Chance Encounter
New York City, 1983. The skyline shimmered with neon, and the streets buzzed with chaos. Leon Voss, a man teetering on the edge of ruin, was running for his life. Sirens wailed behind him as he darted through an alley, narrowly escaping the police. Breathless and desperate, he flagged down a yellow cab, threw himself into the backseat, and slammed the door.
“Step on it!” he shouted.
The driver—a clean-cut man in his 30s with a slight smirk—glanced back. "You might regret this ride," he said.
Before Leon could respond, everything went black.
Welcome to the C.A.B.
When Leon awoke, he was no longer in New York. The once-rundown cab was parked in a vast, futuristic garage filled with identical vehicles. Standing outside the cab was the driver, who introduced himself as Agent Gabriel Shaw of the Chronology Alteration Bureau (C.A.B.).
Leon stumbled out, confused and terrified. "What... where am I?"
“You’re not supposed to be here,” Shaw snapped. “This isn’t a public taxi. You just hitched a ride on a time jump.”
“What?” Leon stammered. “No, no, no. Look, I didn’t mean to—just don’t send me to jail. I’ll do anything!”
Shaw hesitated. “Anything, huh? Do you even realize what you’ve stepped into?”
Leon shook his head, but desperation burned in his eyes. "Just give me a chance. Train me. I can help."
