Letra de
The Passenger

A música The Passenger foi inspirada pelas viagens incessantes de Iggy Pop por toda a Europa durante a turnê, principalmente na Alemanha, juntamente com David Bowie. A letra reflete as impressões e experiências da vida na estrada e é uma das canções mais emblemáticas do cantor.

I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city back streets
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah in the bright and hollow skies
You know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger
I say 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 cities ripping sky
And everything looks good tonight


Singing la la laa la la la laa la la
A la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la


Get into the car
We'll be the passengers
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the cities ripped back sides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The stars made for us tonight

Oh the passenger
Oh how you ride
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
And what does he see
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the cities ripped back sides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
And it just belongs to you and me
So lets take a ride and see what's mine

And Singing la la laa la la la laa la la
A la laa lalaaaaa la la laa la la laa
la laa lalaaaaa la la laa la la laa
La laa la


Are you the passenger
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
he sees the city sleeping 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 lets all ride and ride and ride and ride

Oh singing la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
Laaaaaaaaaa
Oh singing la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
la la laa la la la laa la la
