"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". It was released as a single in its own right in
March 1998, reaching number 22 in the UK Charts.
The
lyrics, written by Iggy Pop allegedly aboard Berlin's S-Bahn,
have been interpreted as embodying the nomadic spirit of the punk outcast.
Guitarist Ricky
Gardiner composed the music. The song is loosely based on a
poem by Jim Morrison.
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 sky
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
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
Stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
Oh how he rides
Oh the passenger
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
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
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
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 sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine (2x)
So let's ride and ride, and ride, and ride
(2x)
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
