Modest Mouseis an American alternativeband. The band was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washingtonby guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Greenand bassist Eric Judy. Since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2000, the band has attained significant popular success. Brock came up with the name "Modest Mouse" when he read the Virginia Woolfstream of consciousness essay The Mark On the Wallin which the author described the working middle class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." Brock frequently moved around with his mother when he was a child. Around this time, his mother left his father for his father's brother (Brock's uncle).

Interstate 8 Lyrics
Modest Mouse
Spent 18 hours waiting stoned for space
I spent the same 18 hours in the same damn place
Im on a road shaped like a figure 8
Im going nowhere, but Im guaranteed to be late
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
Youre an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devils pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The grounds 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
Were on a pass, were on pass
I stopped for gas, but where could place be
To pay for gas to drive around
Around the interstate 8
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
Youre an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devils pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The grounds colorful patchwork
How have you been? [x2]
How have you? [x2]
