Mercury Rev - Goddess on a Highway

There was a brief time, when Mercury Rev seemed plugged into something otherworldly. Deserters songs and Allis dream both carried hints of an oddness that lingered in the mind. There's a episode of the TV show twin peaks which ends with the suggestion that "the owls are not what they seem" before cutting to footage of a huge owl glowering at the screen. It should be absurd but instead it instilled a deep and lasting fear of owls in me. This song evokes similar emotions.
