hey there, Mr. Blue
we're so pleased to be with you
look around, see what you do
everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue, you did it right
but soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
now his hand is on your shoulder
never mind, i'll remember you this
i'll remember you this way
they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
logical, oh, responsible, practical
and then they showed me a world where i could be so dependable
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical
there are times when all the world's asleep
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man
won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
i know it sounds absurd
please tell me who i am
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 find it hard to say the things i want to say the most
find a little bit of steady as i get close
find a balance in the middle of the chaos
send me low, send me high, send me never demigod
i remember walking in the cold of November
hoping that i make it to the end of December
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-back side
and everything looks good tonight
when i was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
a miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical
and all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
i gotta let the sunshine in, let the sun shine in
you know i can't keep letting it get me down
and i can't keep dragging that dead weight around
if there ain't all that much to lug around
better run like hell when i hit the ground
i could Look at the stars
look how they shine for you
and everything you do
yeah, they were all yellow
i came along
i wrote a song for you
and all the things you do
and it was called, "Yellow"
now let the sunshine in
oh, the passenger
how he rides
oh, the passenger
and he rides and he rides
he looks through his window
what does he see?
he sees the sign and hollow sky
he sees the stars come out tonight
he sees the city's ripped backsides
he sees the winding ocean drive
i've seen you 'round for a long long time
i remembered you when you drank my wine
why can't we be friends
you paid your money to the welfare line
I see me standing in it every time
why can't we be friends
pressure
pushing down on you
pressing down on me
no man asked for
under pressure
that burns a building down
splits a family in two
puts people on streets
why can't we be friends
it's the terror of knowing what this world is about
watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
pray tomorrow gets me higher
when the sun shines in
whipping around, kick my brains 'round the floor
these are the days, it never rains, but it pours
turned away from it all like a blind man
sat on a fence, but it don't work
i find it hard to tell you how I want to run away
i understand it always makes you feel a certain way
i find a balance in the middle of the chaos
send me up, send me down, semi never demigod
i remember walking in the heat of the summer
wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonder
twenty-seven years and I've nothing to show
falling from the doves to the dark of the crow
looking to the ways of the ones before me
watching for When the moon is in the Seventh House
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars
we have to let the sun shine in
can't we give ourselves one more chance?
why can't we give love that one more chance?
'cause love's such an old-fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
the people on the edge of the night
and love dares you to change our way of
caring about ourselves
harmony and understanding
sympathy and trust abounding
no more falsehoods or derisions
golden living dreams of visions
mystic crystal revelation
this is our last dance
this is ourselves
under pressure
