Virgin Mary Highway Lyrics
I lay on my back in the lake at night
In the summertime trying to remember
Every last second, every last breath that I spent with you
The yellow dotted line, reflected in your eyes
You scream as the crickets fly in the open window
Please don't cry, love
Come on babe, we both know that I'll stay
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway
Let's go and see her today
We've both felt love before, even if we deny it
That familiar feeling of believing that we'll die without it
But we never do, well, not completely
Come on babe, we both know that I'll stay
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway
Let's go and see her, let's ask her blessing today
Bless us
Bless us
Bless us
In the summertime trying to remember
Every last second, every last breath that I spent with you
The yellow dotted line, reflected in your eyes
You scream as the crickets fly in the open window
Please don't cry, love
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway
Let's go and see her today
That familiar feeling of believing that we'll die without it
But we never do, well, not completely
The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway
Let's go and see her, let's ask her blessing today
Bless us
Bless us

A lot of Arcade Fire songs seem to be on the topic of car wrecks, and of a freind/relative surviving or living with the loss of what's happened. Cold Wind springs to mind.
Yeh except cold wind is NOTHING compared to this song
WHY HAS NOONE COMMENTED HERE!!!
This is one of my fav AF songs ever! It's just that whole AF magical effect... they can turn any song into a religious experience, and for me this one is up there with the rest
I lay on my back in the lake at night In the summertime trying to remember Every last second, every last breath that I spent with you The yellow dotted line, reflected in your eyes You scream as the crickets fly in the open window Please don't cry, love

Come on babe, we both know that I'll stay The Virgin Mary lives beside the highway Let's go and see her, let's ask her blessing today Bless us Bless us Bless us
You know I'm adrift without you C'mon You know I still feel it You know I'm adrift without you C'mon You know I still feel it
