Modest Mouse - Interstate 8 Lyrics
Spent 18 hours waiting stoned for space
I spent the same 18 hours in the same damn place
I'm on a road shaped like a figure 8
I'm going nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late
You go out like a riptide
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? [x2]
How have you? [x2]
I drove around for hours, I drove around for days
I drove around for months and years and never went no place
We're on a pass, we're on pass
I stopped for gas, but where could place be
Around the Interstate 8
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? [x2]
How have you? [x2]

Modest Mouse Interstate 8 Comments
This is the best Modest Mouse song.
I’m late, but what’s new?
I’m the only one here song!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Overpass, Underpass
We stopped for gas but where's the place
to pay for gas to drive around, around the interstate 8?
Whats part one??
I wanna hear this on vinyl so bad...
I'm just here to cry a bit and miss people
Lyrics?
The female backup is a bit Kim Dealish...
A good part of me wants to say that big cylinder boi is one of the dorms at EWU in Cheney.
Damn this song is so Beautiful
I hope I could escaped the never ending pain...
This is what i drink and drive to
Also best section 2:17 to 2:37
u might kill someone dog
@JaYfizz0 fuck em
Man, wish they still wrote songs like this.
For 39 years I worked at a factory that made little tubes, and every 40th tube I had to roll into a figure 8 and place a "test ball" into it, this test ball had no sides, it was just a fucking ball. That's what this song is about.
And just for science's sake, a ball h
Has two sides, inside and outside...
Thank you
"I drove around for hours, I drove around for days, I drove around for months and years and never went no place" dang that hit home with me...
Modest mouse used to make me sad when I was younger it was just an unavoidable sadness not necessarily in a bad way but just overwhelmimg... but now they give me my peace of fucking mind which honestly isn't so peaceful but it Is what it fucking is
It do be like that sometimes
Such an amazing song, been listening to this for over half my life and it never gets old. MM is the soundtrack of my life and life is good
I wanna go back in time, get up close to his ear and say: “you know a bomb has no sight” and my OCD will be quelled
It's ball has no sides
Mm best album
I'm going nowhere but i'm guaranteed to be late.
Stetsen James this lyric hit me too
spent 18 hours waitin stoned disgraced
I spent the same 18 hours in the same damn place
man it took me up until this very instant that he said "disgraced"
Juice Ledford its actually, stoned for space
wow this son g is vey good
You new here, ma'am. If so, welcome to Modest Mouse, as "very good" defines everything that gets poked by the influence of Isaac Brock. If not, then you already know.
I can only hope this song is playing when I die
I like the live bootleg version more
Kill me now.. I want to remember it just like this. Miss you sappy Sue!
i don't know why those lyrics hit me so much
"You go out like a riptide"
how have you been ?
This is perfect
IS THIS ABOUT TRIPPING ON ACID OR WHAT? LOVE THIS SONG
No.....just no, you don't need drugs to feel Modest Mouse
@Musical Outlaw I believe it's about flying in an airplane.
I drove around for hours, I drove around for days
I drove around for months and years and never went no place...
Can someone tell me who the female singing backing vocals is

taktwo2 i been watching these for a few years thank you so much for uploading these great songs
im going nowhere but guaranteed to be late
8 years of memories. What a ride.
20 years of memories.... im on a road shaped like a figure 8...
Only person in my music appreciation class to raise their hand, when as asked by the teacher if anyone knew the band Modest Mouse. He didn't see my hand though.
That is depressing.
Was it because you didn’t want the class to know you have musical taste like your teacher? 😉
I was in my rock band class yesterday and my teacher asked us our favorite bands. I completely forgot about modest mouse and I want to punch myself...
My English 101 instructor made our first assignment an essay on our favorite band and why they like them supposed to be one page I wrote it on mm and it was like 3 pages.
Heya buddy! spectrum really sounds strongny"oiceprovide
"I'm on a road shaped like a figure 8
I'm going nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late"
<3
my life... what a lyric
goddammit i wasn't prepared for these feels
You're an angel with an amber halo, black hair and the Devil's pitchfork...
Your ex is a whore
this song has many feels..
You know a ball has no sides.
mnsnota sure it does.. just one!
You know a figure 8 has no end.
song describes my life right now
you're amazing2 hey,% oceanic ragged what's your opinion about this, gvys !
Surprisingly good on subs
Yes but then again what's not good on subutex
Never gets old
Yes please
Alcohol plus this song is great
Sippin pabst on the public train coming headed home from a long day ..
Yess my guy...got my miller lowlifes and vodka shots on the side..."how have you been"
@Max Bundalo cringey
LSD is crazy man, but have you tried ALOT of LSD?
Klonopin does the job as well
I LOVE THIS SONG!
bluegrass version is so much better
None of the cover holds a candle to the original hands down.
Fuck that
+mereimage00 I would say are good enough to merit being equal to the original. I would not at all say better. This song means too much to me. As does the cover. There's a certain genuineness that the Iron Horse version does not have.
iron horse
I disagree.
"I'm goin' nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late."
Well I'll be damned if this line doesn't describe everything I've ever done ever.
6 years and I'm the one to make it 69 likes... Wow

I honestly think that the story behind this band, makes them 'thaaat' much better. lol, just knowing Isaac's story made all of these songs 'click' for me. I fucking love this band nonetheless.

sucks that some people sucks in this world
I'm pretty upset that someone disliked this song.
