The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees

About The Passenger

"The Passenger" is a song by Iggy Pop and Ricky Gardiner, recorded and released by Iggy Pop on the Lust for Life album in 1977. It was also released as the B-side of the album's only single, "Success". In the summer of 2007 alternative rock radio stations around the USA resumed playing the song in concordance with Iggy Pop and The Stooges tour in that country. The lyrics, written by Iggy Pop allegedly aboard Berlin's S-Bahn, have been interpreted as embodying the nomadic spirit of the punk outcast. .

The Passenger Lyrics

[00:21.16] I am the passenger
[00:24.66] And I ride and I ride
[00:28.13] I ride through the city's backsides
[00:31.74] I see the stars come out of the sky
[00:35.15] Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
[00:38.62] You know it looks so good tonight
[00:44.19]
[00:49.07] I am the passenger
[00:52.58] I stay under glass
[00:56.00] I look through my window so bright
[00:59.64] I see the stars come out tonight
[01:03.00] I see the bright and hollow sky
[01:06.67] Over the city's ripped backsides
[01:10.06] And everything looks good tonight
[01:16.97]
[01:18.98] Singing
[01:20.07] La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
[01:23.43] La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
[01:27.00] La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
[01:33.20]
[01:37.53] Get into the car
[01:41.00] We'll be the passenger
[01:44.52] We'll ride through the city tonight
[01:48.03] We'll see the city's ripped backsides
[01:51.44] We'll see the bright and hollow sky
[01:54.94] We'll see the stars that shine so bright
[01:58.31] Stars made for us tonight
[02:04.72]
[02:08.67] Oh, the passenger
[02:12.28] How, how he rides?
[02:15.66] Oh, the passenger
[02:19.20] He rides and he rides
[02:22.47] He looks through his window
[02:25.96] What does he see?
[02:29.28] He sees the sign and hollow sky
[02:32.65] He sees the stars come out tonight
[02:36.12] He sees the city's ripped backsides
[02:39.52] He sees the winding ocean drive
[02:42.98] And everything was made for you and me
[02:46.37] All of it was made for you and me
[02:49.64] 'Cause it just belongs to you and me
[02:53.06] So let's take a ride and see what's mine
[02:59.75]

[03:15.76]
[03:20.51] Oh, the passenger
[03:23.97] He rides and he rides
[03:27.23] He sees things from under glass
[03:30.68] He looks through his window side
[03:34.01] He sees things he knows are his
[03:37.44] He sees the bright and hollow sky
[03:40.82] He sees the city sleep at night
[03:44.21] He sees the stars are out tonight
[03:47.66] And all of it is yours and mine
[03:51.06] And all of it is yours and mine
[03:54.25] So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
