The Passenger (Live in Manchester 1977)

I'm the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backside
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'm a 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 rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight

Singin', la, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
Lala

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright

How how he rides
Oh the passenger
I ride and I ride
He looks through his window
What does he see?

He sees the sided hollow sky
He see 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

Singin', la, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
Lala'

(I like this music)

Oh, the passenger
How how he rides
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

And this land is yours and mine
And this land is yours and mine
And this land is yours and mine
So lets ride-

Singin', la, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
La, la, la, la, lalalala
Lala

Oh the passenger I ride and I ride
I talked to a girl named Tonio the other day
She was a girl from Britain livin' in Denmark
And I said Tonio look at beautiful Rolls Royce
And she said Jimmy I hate new cars
And I said why and she said
" 'Cause I ain't got no money and if I can't afford it I hate it"
And I see pinheads with Cadillac and I see my girl she is not

And I see my life drifting by and I know I'm gonna die
And I know I'm gonna die so before I die
I'm gonna let you remember arrrrg-
I'm alive
And when I see all that shit that's goin' down
This is what I say
