When

Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.

When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
 — Leonard Cohen 'Waiting For The Miracle'

Passenging

Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
 — Iggy Pop 'The Passenger'
