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'
