I am a passenger - And I ride and I ride       [Intro]

I ride through the city's backsides               (x3)

I see the stars come out of the sky           F#m-D A-E

Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky          F#m-D A-C#

You know it looks so good tonight

                                               [Intro]

I am a passenger - I stay under glass

I look through my window so bright              [Hook]

I see the stars come out tonight    (Oh) singing

I see the bright and hollow sky         (lalalala

Over the city's ripped-back sky          lalalala x3),

And everything looks good tonight        lalala

                                                [Link]

Get into the car - We'll be the passenger     F#m-D A-E

We'll ride through the city tonight  ╔═══════════════╗

F#-see the city's ripped backsides    ║ The Passenger ║

We'll see the bright and hollow sky  ╚═══════════════╝

We'll see the stars that shine so bright

The sky was made for us tonight                [Intro]


(Oh, the passenger

 (How, how he rides/And he rides and he rides) x2)

He looks through his window - What does he see

He sees the (silent hollow sky/stars come out tonight/

    city's ripped backsides/winding ocean drive) (x4)

And everything was made for you and me    ╔══════════╗

All of it was made for you and me         ║ Iggy Pop ║

'Cause it just belongs to you and me      ╚══════════╝

So, let's a-take a ride and see what's mine

                                               [Intro]

Oh, the passenger - And he rides and he rides   [Hook]

He sees things from under glass                  (And)

He looks through his window's eye               [Link]

He sees the (things that he knows are his/

    bright and hollow sky/city asleep at night/

    stars are out tonight) (x4)

And all of it is yours and mine (x2)      [Intro]

So let's ride and ride (and ride x2)       [Hook] (x2)
