Lisa Hannigan Passenger song lyrics

Walking 'round Chicago

I have smuggled you as cargo

Though you are far away unknowing

By the time we get to salt lake

I have packed you in my suitcase

Iron the creases from my own remembering

She said "Burn. oh why"

And I said "Burn. oh why"

We wound our way to Texas

And I summoned rumbled hexes

And I sent them across dust and oceans

In Phoenix, Arizona I had a notion I might phone ya

But there it lived and died a notion

She said "Burn. oh why"

And I said "Burn. oh why"

Oh my satellite

Oh my passenger

We came upon Ohio

I have you chewed on like a biro

You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering

We came to minneapolis

All fizzy blood and twitchy fists

I buried you in a day of snowing

She said "Burn. oh why"

And I said "Burn. oh why"

Oh my satellite

Oh my passenger

Oh my satellite

Oh my passenger
