Mumbo Jumbo - Passengers

(Celso Valli; Chuck Rolando) 1983

You got hocus-pocus souvenir
You got everything that we will need to doom
We got mumbo jumbo in our hearts
We got a map to guide us through the dim and the dark

Oh oh oh caramba
Let's see what we can see
On our way to Mumbo Jumbo
Don't leave without me

Oh oh oh caramba

On our way to Mumbo Jumbo

In this hurry, get it, come and go
On a rolly rollers get your feelings so low
It's in Mumbo Jumbo has the cure

You will know

Some life insurance

Lead me by the hand

So in doctor's hand into a change
We did a dance until it stop to rain
And then lighting stroke that tune apart
And it broke that spell that held us up for so long

Oh oh oh caramba
Let's see what we can see
On our way to Mumbo Jumbo
Don't leave without me

Take a Little Time - Passengers

(Chuck Rolando; K Arena)  1980

Doo doo doo
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time

Like the wind rushes in
Love may touch you or pass you by
Watch she grows
Watch she dies
Live forever in the moment's time

Well it's hard to be paciente
Why should I be so calm and cool
Take a little time
Do yourself a favor
If you take a little time
Give us both a chance
Take a little time
We'll get ourselves together
If you take a little time
Maybe here will last

Doo doo doo
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time

Ships at the sea
Ride the waves
Ain't so free
At ease everyday

So ride your storms 
Hold on tight
If love is with us
She'll see us through the night

Well it's hard to be paciente
Why should I be so calm and cool
Take a little time
Do yourself a favor
If you take a little time
Give us both a chance
Take a little time
We'll get ourselves together
If you take a little time
Maybe here will last

Take a little time
Do yourself a favor
If you take a little time
Give us both a chance
Take a little time
We'll get ourselves together
If you take a little time
Maybe here will last

Doo doo doo
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little time





Rhapsody - Passengers

(Chuck Rolando; Celso Valli) 1983

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

There's B. B. Peppy on another saturday night
He's a hugger and a talker
At a local with a mellow stand
You couldn't say that he was happy, no
But you couldn't say that he was sad
??Down at the luna park???

Thoodely is a talent scout 
She's on a holiday down in Rome
She heard B. B. Peppy rapping away 
And that remind her of a song
She couldn't understand a word he said
But the rhythm drove her wild
She's gonna fall in love

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm on the video (Imaginario)
Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm in a rhapsody

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

She took a camera out of her bag
And then she aimed it Peppy's way (Rhapsody)
She tried to catch his roman nose
But then he turn his face away (Rhapsody)
She offered him a contract
But he couldn't read a single word

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

Thoodely got desperated
She couldn't think of what to do
He said ciao bella bionda
And then he rocked and tapped his shoes
So she finally gave it up
And flew back to L.A.
Some people never change

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm on the video (Imaginario)
Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm in a

Excuse me please
Talk to me
If we could only cross the bordes of our lives
Excuse me please
Can't you see
I only wish that you and I could rap
Some time

Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo
Bop doo, bop bop, doo roo roo roo

Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm on the video (Imaginario)
Rhapsody
I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario
I'm in a rhapsody

I wonder how it could be
I used to feel so ordinario

Burning Cool - Passengers

(Chuck Rolando; N Pugllese) 1983

In the middle of the night
When you know you should be sleeping tight
There's a knock at your door
You're seeing ghost 
What are you hiding for?
Why do you toss in your sleep
Why can't you tell me the secrets that you keep

Baby you're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool

Baby you're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool

It's a pity and a shame
If you don't let stop your foolish game
Don't let them see your eyes
They speak the truth before your lips can lie

Why do you toss in your sleep
Why can't you tell me the secrets that you keep

Baby you're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool

Baby you're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool

Baby you're burning, burning
Baby you're burning so cool

You're burning, burning
Baby you're burning so cool

You're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool

You're burning, burning
Like a fire under ice
Baby you're burning so cool


 

Night After Night - Passengers

(Chuck Rolando; E Montana) 1984

Voices inside me say I better slow down
I get too excited when I know you're around
Sometimes I stop cause it happens so fast
Where did you come from 
How long it will last

Meet me at six
Down the Gramercy Park
We'll go for a stroll till it starts to get dark
Buy you a ring in a second hand store
Remember this moment I promisse you more

Night after night
Our love runs like a game without rules
Night after night
Our love gives me the joy and the blues

Go to the heart of the matters
I may be unwise to reveal this much
But night after night
I fall more in love with you

Baby I love the way you laugh at my jokes
And when I get down you are the end of my rope
You shine just like a light upon the top of a tower
You're rough and you're gentle 
The stone and the flower

People need love to get some sense out of life
Then they get bored so quickly and it leads to a fight 
But we don't have time
for that useless emotion
Loving you always will be my devotion

Night after night
Our love runs like a game without rules
Night after night
Our love gives me the joy and the blues

Go to the heart of the matters
I may be unwise to reveal this much
But night after night
I fall more in love with you

Night after night
Our love runs like a game without rules
Night after night
Our love gives me the joy and the blues

Go to the heart of the matters
I may be unwise to reveal this much
But night after night
I fall more in love with you

Voices inside me say I better slow down
I get too excited when I know you're around
Sometimes I stop cause it happens so fast
Where did you come from 
How long it will last

Baby I love the way you laugh at my jokes
And when I get down you are the end of my rope
You shine just like a light upon the top of a tower
You're rough and you're gentle 
The stone and the flower




Immediate Pleasure - Passengers

(Gesualdo Arena; Milpatte) 1983

As I was sitted in a dark fancy bar
I saw her fair face come into the night
Her skin and hair just caught my heart from a far
I couldn't move, couldn't hold myself right
She slipped the hand and I wet my dried lips
I looked at her curves and got stuck on her hips

Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
So call me tonight
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Let's do it tonight

Our eyes connected and the heat came on strong
And as we're dancing, he was pushing my hip
We rolled in rhythm to the tune of that song
And then our brains really started to trip
??We sleep at saturn?? on our way to the moom
Got lost in a cloud and we fell to the ground

Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
So call me tonight
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Let's do it tonight

We crossed the sea
And saw a transparent fish
She said let's follow
See where it leads
It changed five colors
And we all made a reach
Surpassing bounderies, fulfiling our needs
??We sleep at saturn?? on our way to the moon 
Got lost in a cloud and we fell to the ground

Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
So call me tonight
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure
Let's do it tonight

As I was sitted in a dark fancy bar
I saw her fair face come into the night
Her skin and hair just caught my heart from a far
I couldn't move, couldn't hold myself right

Immediate pleasure
Immediate pleasure

So call me tonight

Our eyes connected and the heat came on strong
And as we're dancing, she was pushing my hip
We rolled in rhythm to the tune of that song
And then our brains really started to trip

Let's do it tonight
