Iggy Pop - The Passenger

Album: Lust for Life / Year: 1977 / Written by Iggy Pop and Ricky Gardiner / Produced by David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Colin Thurston
Lyrics:
I am the passenger
An' I ride and I ride
I ride through the city backsides
I see the stars come out in the sky
Yeah, the bright and hallowed 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 hallowed sky
Over the city's ripped bare sky
And everything looks good tonight

A-singin'
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 hallowed sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight

Ooh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Ooh, the passenger
He rides an' he rides

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

A-singin'
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

Ooh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hallowed sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight

An' all of it is yours and mine
An' all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride

A-singin'
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

A-singin'
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

RIP Ricky Gardiner 31 August 1948 to13 May 2022; that was great guitar playing a lifetime ago now; but people will still be listening to it for centuries to come.

[VEHICLEFAN]

song/track about exploring new places and experiences. The lyrics speak of the narrator's journey through different cities and landscapes, viewing it all through the window of a car. The chorus repeats the term “la la la” to express joy and appreciation for the sights that the narrator sees along the way. Through the song, Pop conveys the feeling of freedom and joy that comes with exploration and adventure. In the end of the song, He affirms that the shared beauty of the evening sky and the things seen on this journey belong to him and the listener, reminding them that they can always seek out new wonders if they desire.
