Blue Highway
Billy Idol · Rebel Yell
Whoawwwww!
So my good friends,
Your super drug airheads.
I'm out to the stratosphere.
Rain for a day glow.
Holy Water for your soul.
And I wake up, in the U.S.A.
You know we're gonna ride,
On the blue highway.
Walk with the legs you're blind,
On the blue highway.
Wave hello to christ,
On my highway.
Yes I almost died,
On the blue highway.
Here someone from Mars,
On a stolen guitar.
He's out to ride the night. Uh!
Oh, sister's so hip too.
I hear you and I miss you.
Co-starring in the U.S.A.
You know we're gonna ride,
On the blue highway.
Walk with the legs you're blind,
On the blue highway.
Way hollow to crash,
On my highway.
Yes I almost died,
On the blue highway. Oww!
Why do I miss you?
Why did I kiss you?
Because.
You know we're gonna ride,
On the blue highway.
Walk with the legs you're blind,
On the blue highway.
Way hollow to crash,
On my highway.
Yes I almost died,
On the blue highway.
So glad that you're living now,
I'm glad that you're here.
I'm glad that you wanna stay.
Because.
You know we're gonna ride,
On the blue highway.
Walk with the legs you're blind,
On the blue highway.
Way hollow to crash,
On my highway.
Yes I almost died,
On the blue highway.
On the blue highway!
Uh! Save me now!
Wings and high winds, right above.
Yes there's a time, a time for love.
Then you kissed me,
On the blue highway!
Why do I miss you?
How do I kiss you?
So my good friends,
Your super drug airheads.
I'm out to the stratosphere.
Rain for a day glow.
Holy Water for your soul.
And I wake up, in the U.S.A.
