The Passenger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a determined passenger
I never learnt to drive
But don't worry, I'm not asking for a ride
Some people hate the bus
Not me, I can't get enough
Some people live in the fast lane
Not me, I take the train
I love public transportation
Train or bus, they're both amazing
I don't take a book
I've no time to read
It's a long journey but there's a lot to see
Back left window, upstairs
The view alone is worth the fare
If I wanna sleep
Gonna miss my stop
I use my phone as an alarm clock
Some people hate the bus
Not me, I can't get enough
Some people live in the fast lane
Not me, I take the train
I love public transportation
Train or bus, they're both amazing
I know there's somewhere I'm supposed to be
And I'm gonna get there eventually
But when I'm travelling from A to B
I'm avoiding my responsibility
And I love the thrill of being last
Bus and trains don't go that fast
Some people hate the bus
Not me, I can't get enough
Some people live in the fast lane
Not me, I take the train
I love public transportation
Train or bus, they're both amazing
