Passenger
A Perfect Circle · Other Songs - A Perfect Circle
Just like always, still I want some more
Mirrors sideways, who cares what's behind
Just like always, still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles an' leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me, this time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows down, this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in,
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
Drop these down and put them on me
Nice cool seats there to cushion your knees
Now to calm me take me 'round again
Don't pull over this time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows till this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows
Down to catch my breath and then
Go and go and don't just
Drive me home and back again
Here I lay, just like always
Don't let me go go go go go go go go go
Take me to the edge
