The Passenger by Wall of Voodoo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A telepathic line to a shadow
On the wall, just a passenger and that is all
Taking off on a midnight flight
The airline ticket in his hand held tight
Polar route, destination: oblivion
"Can I take that little box that you're sitting on, sir?"
"No, that's alright, miss, I'll hold it right here
I'll need it later on when I go up in the air"

[Chorus 1]
And one false move will give it all away
Just one false move will give it all away

[Verse 2]
Long distance calling everyone around
Bad connection, better let the operator dial
I feel the speed of the traffic zoom
A train in a tunnel and an empty room
Time for take-off, extinguish all cigarettes
In emergency, you know where the exits are
His hands are white on the box he grips
No one knows that it's their last trip
[Chorus 2]
And one false move will give it all away
Just one false move will give it all away

[Verse 3]
Long distance calling everyone around
Bad connection, better let the operator dial
Taking off on a midnight flight
The airline ticket in his hand held tight

[Chorus 3]
And one false move will give it all away
Just one false move will give it all away
