Iggy Pop - The Passenger

"Lust for Life", (1977)

Lyrics:
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, 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 a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight

Sing, 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 backside
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
And he rides and he rides

He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and 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

Sing, 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 he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight

And all of it is yours and mine
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...

@pinksunami Thank you for your kind words, Pam! It's hard not to love this song, isn't it? :)))

[nick40nick40]

do you know who's on the back vocals, huh?

[HeadfulOfHollow]

@nick40nick40 David Bowie as a parody of himself, perhaps? haha

[PegasusOrgans]

and i ride and i ride

[DonnerParty1000]

Julian Casablancas obviously modeled his voice after Iggy's.

[roxyuru]

I can see on the graffiti a guy named Alvaro from Uruguay.

[CarldeReims]

Time for me to cover this tune. You know I love Iggy. CdR:)))

[nick40nick40]

@HeadfulOfHollow it is David Bowie indeed :)

I really do not know why he used this hue on his voice...

[HeadfulOfHollow]

@WPAMMT Very true... they've gone down in history and will be remembered forever.
