"The Passenger" lyrics
(originally by Iggy Pop)
I am a passenger and I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped back sky
And everything looks good tonight
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger how, how he rides
Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does it see?
He sees the silent hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride and see what's mine
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped back sky
And everything looks good tonight
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger how, how he rides
Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does it see?
He sees the silent hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride and see what's mine
