A música The Passenger foi inspirada pelas viagens incessantes de Iggy Pop por toda a Europa durante a turnê, principalmente na Alemanha, juntamente com David Bowie. A letra reflete as impressões e experiências da vida na estrada e é uma das canções mais emblemáticas do cantor.
I am the passenger And I ride and I ride I ride through the city back streets I see the stars come out of the sky Yeah in the bright and hollow skies You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger I say 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 cities ripping sky And everything looks good tonight
Singing la la laa la la la laa la la A la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la
Get into the car We'll be the passengers We'll ride through the city tonight We'll see the cities ripped back sides We'll see the bright and hollow sky We'll see the stars that shine so bright The stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger Oh how you ride Oh the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window And what does he see He sees the bright and hollow sky He sees the stars come out tonight He sees the cities ripped back sides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me And it just belongs to you and me So lets take a ride and see what's mine
And Singing la la laa la la la laa la la A la laa lalaaaaa la la laa la la laa la laa lalaaaaa la la laa la la laa La laa la
Are you the passenger 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 sleeping at night He sees the stars are out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine So lets all ride and ride and ride and ride
Oh singing la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la Laaaaaaaaaa Oh singing la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la la la laa la la la laa la la
