Blue Highway
Riding the Blue Highway: Billy Idol's Electric Journey of Soul and Survival
Lyrics
So, my good friend
Addressing a friend
Your super drug ends
Reference to the end of a potent drug
I go up to the stratosphere
Ascending to great heights metaphorically
Brain fry day glow
Mind-altering experience, vivid colors
Holy water for your soul
Purification or rejuvenation of the soul
And I'll wake up in the U.S.a
Awake in the United States, a new beginning
You know we gonna ride on the blue highway
Expressing a commitment to a journey
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Traveling with a smooth electric ride
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Saluting or acknowledging Christ along the way
Yes, I almost died on the blue highway, hey-hey
Near-death experience on the journey
Oh, the sons from Mars
Mention of extraterrestrial beings, perhaps metaphorical
On their stolen guitars
Possibly referencing rebellion through music
Out to ride the night
Embarking on a nocturnal adventure
Soul sisters, soul hitter
Connection with kindred spirits, powerful impact
I hear you and I miss you
Expressing longing and nostalgia
Co-starring in the U.S.a
Participating in a significant role in the U.S.
You know we gotta ride on the blue highway
Reiterating the commitment to the journey
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Walking with a technologically advanced motorcycle
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Acknowledging a spiritual presence on the route
Yes, I almost died on a blue highway, hey-hey
Reflecting on a close call or risky situation
Why do I miss you?
Pondering the reasons for missing someone
Why did I kiss you, because
Recalling a kiss and its significance
You know we gotta ride on the blue highway
Reaffirming the commitment to the journey
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Continuing the journey with an electric glide
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Acknowledging a spiritual presence again
Yes, I almost died
Surviving a dangerous situation
So glad that you're living now
Expressing relief and joy for someone's existence
I'm glad that you're here
Appreciation for someone's presence
I'm glad that you want to stay, because
Expressing the desire for someone to stay
You know we gotta ride on the blue highway
Reiterating the commitment once again
Walk with electro glide on the blue highway
Continuing the journey with an electric glide
Wave below to Christ on my highway
Referencing a spiritual connection
Yes, I almost died on a blue highway, hey-hey
Recalling a risky situation on the journey
On a blue highway
Emphasizing the blue highway as a recurring motif
Singing, singing
Mention of singing and possible substance use
Quaaludes and red wine for love
Reference to specific substances and love
Yes, there's a time, a time for love
Acknowledging the timing of love
Can you kiss me on a blue highway, hey-hey
Possibly seeking affection on the journey
Why do I miss you?
Reiterating the contemplation of missing someone
How do I kiss you?
Pondering the manner of expressing affection
