...I am the passenger and I ride and I ride...
I drive through the night, a mild late March night.
I drive, but I am only a passenger.
It's happened again: the music waves from the radio push me back in time.
Twenty years in the span of notes from the guitar intro to the refrain.
One note, and I begin to float.
Two notes, and I dive in headfirst.
Ten notes, and it feels as if a hand is pushing me down, further down.
Will it be a journey without return?
...I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky...
In my liquid ceiling of melancholic and dark sounds, the stars and a crescent moon shine.
A killer moon, petrified in an eternal smile, sad and somewhat mocking.
... Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight...
And I feel it, I feel that it is resurfacing from the maelström of consciousness, buried deep inside, the rage to live.
I relive the eternal moment, made only of the present, because in the past lie nameless fears, and the future does not exist.
Only the moment exists, the here and now.
The rage exists, and the desire exists.
The desire for nothingness.
The stars will fade, and when the night is darker than hell, our special guest will make his entrance.
No drum roll, he will sneak in, perform his number, and at the end of the show, just as he entered, he will leave quietly, and the curtain will close behind him.
Ladies and Gentlemen gathered here to witness the greatest show in the world, I have the pleasure of presenting you the terrible, grandiose, astounding Oblivion!
The absence. The negative pole. Le Grand Néant.
Let the Black Celebrations begin!
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.
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 The Passenger (04:45)
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 backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Let' sing;
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 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
And sing;
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 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
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Oh Sing;
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 la
Oh Sing;
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 la
02 Lust for Life (05:14)
Here comes Johnny in again
With the liquor and drugs
And a flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I'm up again
About something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before.
I have a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life.
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform
All on a government loan.
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life (lust for life)
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo)
I got a lust for life (oooo)
Got a lust for life (oooo)
Oh, a lust for life (oooo)
Oh, a lust for life (oooo)
A lust for life (oooo)
I got a lust for life (oooo)
Got a lust for life.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life
'Cause I've a lust for life.
Here comes Johnny in again
With the liquor and drugs
And a flesh machine
I know he's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
about something called love
Love, love, love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
'Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Got a lust for life
Yeah, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Got a lust for life
Yeah a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
03 Nightclubbing (04:13)
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people brand new people
They're something to see
When we're nightclubbing
Bright-white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild?
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
When we're nightclubbing
Bright white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild...
