Well, I got us on a highway, I got us in a car
Got us going faster than we've ever gone before
I got us on a highway, 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 'cause of you and me
Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
There's a river running dry 'cause 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
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
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last
It ain't gonna last

I highly recommend this CD, especially if you like the Flaming Lips. It's a bit strange, but I like it.

I haven't heard this for YEARS. Love it. Best morning on RP since I've been listening.

Love this song, one of the many bands I heard for the first time from a magazine called CMJ in which each issue included a free CD with all the new bands (or old bands with new songs), and they were usually obscure bands that never made a name for themselves, but some like this one were really great! I still have all those CD's, wish I would have kept the mags too as they really had some great writers!

This is one of the many songs that I remember hearing and liking way back, but never knew the artist or title. Thanks RP for bringing them back!
