40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

I am a passenger,
And I ride and I ride,
I ride through the city at night,
I see the stars come out in the sky
In the bright and hollow sky,
Yeah it looks so good tonight...

I am a passenger,
I stay under glass,
I look through my window so bright,
I see the stars come out tonight
Under the bright and hollow sky,
Stars made for us tonight,
And I'm singin':

La la la la la-la-la la,
La la la la la-la-la la,
La la la la la-la-la la, la la!

Get in to the car,
You'll be the passenger,
We'll ride through the city tonight,
We'll see the city fuck and fight,
We'll see the wrongs that should be right,
Wrongs made by us tonight..."
