Siouxsie And The Banshees – The Passenger (Lyrics)

Written By: Iggy Pop and Ricky Gardiner

Lyrics (Start at 0:20):

I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city’s backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and 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 backsides
And everything looks good tonight

Singing 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

Get into the car
We’ll be the passenger
We’ll ride through the city tonight
We’ll see the city’s ripped backsides
We’ll see the bright and hollow sky
We’ll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight

Oh, the passenger
How, how we rise
Oh, passenger
He rides and he rides

He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sad and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He see’s 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

Singing 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

Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window and sighs
He sees the things he knows on wheels
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

Singing 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

Singing 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

Singing la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
I am the passenger
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
And I ride and I ride
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Singing la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
I am the passenger
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
And I ride and I ride
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Singing la, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
I am the passenger
La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la
And I ride and I ride and I ride and I ride
