[Intro]
Wooooow

[Verse 1]
So, my good friend
The super drug ends
I go up to the stratosphere
Brain fry Day-Glo
Holy water for your soul
And I’ll wake up in the U.S.A

[Chorus]
Aaaw, you know we gonna ride on the blue highway
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died on the blue highway, hey hey

[Verse 2]
Oh, the Sons from Mars
On their stolen guitars
Out to ride the night, aah
Soul sisters, soul hitter
I hear you and I miss you
Co-starring in the U.S.A

[Chorus]
Aaaw, you know we gotta ride on the blue highway - oh!
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Wave below to Christ on my highway - oh!
Yes, I almost died on a blue highway, hey hey

[Bridge]
Ow!
Why do I miss you?
Why did I kiss you, because

[Chorus]
You know we gotta ride on the blue highway (oh)
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died
So glad that you’re living now
I’m glad that you’re here
I’m glad that you want to stay, because
You know we gotta ride on the blue highway (ow)
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway, hey hey
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Aah yes, I almost died on a blue highway, hey hey, aaw
On a blue highway

[Outro]
Ahhh cha singing, singing
Quaaludes and red wine for love
Yes, there's a time, a time for love
Can you kiss me on a blue highway, hey hey
(ow, roawar)
Why do I miss you?
How do I kiss you? (ow, whoo)

Billy Idol

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
