First World, Yeah
I went to see Dweezil Zappa
At the Plaza Live in Orlando
The pre-show music reel
Played a song by Iggy Pop
I didn't recognize the song name
So I opened Shazam on my Android phone
The image of an old Iggy
With "The Passenger" appeared
When I listened to the words
(Because the music was familiar)
He said " . . . and I ride, and I ride"
But how and when and why, I wonder
That was one night
There have been others. Most with
No activity. No endeavors. Indoors.
Take a walk, have some ice cream
People gave them a lot of credit
Frank Zappa and Iggy Pop
Frank said ". . . is it the wave of the future?
"Oh, spare me. Please"
If Iggy spoke about Frank
It was of a lonely guy
But Iggy had other demons
He was to overcome
And I ride, and I ride.
