Goddess on a Hiway

About Goddess on a Hiway

"Goddess on a Hiway" is the first single from Mercury Rev's fourth studio album, Deserter's Songs. The single was first released on November 2, 1998, and then re-issued on August 16, 1999. Two music videos were produced for the song, one directed by Anton Corbijn, the other directed by James & Alex (featured on the 1999 eCD single). B-sides include a cover of "I Only Have Eyes for You" featuring musician Sean O'Hagan. The song's lyrics takes advantage of homonymy: the first verse contains the lines "I got us on a highway, I got us in a car. .." This changes to "She's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car..." In October 2011, NME placed it at number 122 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". more »

Well, I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
Got us going faster than we've ever gone before
I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
Got us going faster than we've ever gone before

And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass

Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
There's a river running dry because of you and me
Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
There's a river running dry because of you and me

And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass

She's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car
A goddess going faster than she's ever gone before
She's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car
A goddess going faster than she's ever gone before

And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass

And I know it ain't gonna last ...
It ain't gonna last ...
