Kranj (pronounced [ˈkɾàːn]; also known by other alternative names) is the fourth-largest city in Slovenia, with a population of 54,500 (2010). It is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Ljubljana. The centre of the City Municipality of Kranj and of the traditional region of Upper Carniola (northwestern Slovenia) is a mainly industrial city with significant electronics and rubber industries.
The nucleus of the city is a well-preserved medieval old town, built at the confluence of the Kokra and Sava rivers. The city is served by the Kranj railway station on the route from Ljubljana to Munich, Germany (via Jesenice and Villach, Austria) and a highway. Slovenia's national airport, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj, considerably more so than its nominal client, Ljubljana.
Kranj was attested in written sources in the 5th century and c. 670 as Carnium (and as via Chreinariorum in 973, actum Kreine in 1050–65, in loco Chreina in 1065–77, and Chrainburch in 1291). The Slovene name is drerived from Slavic *Korn’ь, borrowed from Romance Carnium in late antiquity. Like the Latin regional name Carnia, it is derived from the northern Italic (Celtic) tribe known as the Carnī (Greek: Κάρνοι). The name of the tribe is probably derived from the Celtic root *karno- 'peak, hill, pile of stones'. The German name of the town was Krainburg. The name of the historical region of Carniola is a Latin diminutive form of Carnia.
Come on now, let's go for taxi terror!
Come on!
[Verse I:]
Taxi terror, we are terror on your streets
And all the others will taste defeat
We operate under a nice facade
But we are evil and so are our cars!
Now passengers disappear
And the city starts to fear
But you cannot hold us down
As we terrorize your town!
[Bridge:]
We take you far away
To kill and rape and slay
It happens everyday!
Into the countryside
Somewhere in the night
We play the game of homicide!
[Chorus I:]
Taxi terror - you're trapped under my wheels!
Taxi terror - can you hear his screams?
(Oooooooooooooooohhhhh!!)
[Verse II:]
Take a seat and I will close the door
But it is locked, you scream "What for?"
I step on it and drive like hell
Out of town, in panic you now yell (Help!)
And now we have arrived
You will be sacrificed
You will go to hell tonight
We pray to Satan, when you have died
[Repeat Bridge]
[Chorus II:]
Taxi terror - chained in the back seat!
Taxi terror - You soon will be minced meat!
(Uuuuuuaaaaahhh!)
Taxi terror - we are masters of the streets
Taxi terror - trapped under my wheels
Taxi terror - you soon will be minced meat
Taxi terror - this is how it feels!
(AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)
Taxi terror! Taxi terror! Taxi terror! Taxi terror!
[Repeat Verse I]
[Repeat Bridge]
