Dead Manīs Curve


I was cruising in my stingray late one night,
When a XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled downed the window of his shiny new Jag,
And challenged me then and there to a drag

I said "Youīre on buddy- my millīs running fine",
Lets come off the line now at sunset and vine
But iīll go you one better if youīve got the nerve,

Letīs race all the way to Dead mans curve

Dead manīs curve
Dead manīs curve
Dead manīs curve
Wonīt come back from Dead mans curve

The street was deserted late friday night,
We were buggin each other while  we sat out the light

We both popped the clutch when the light turn green
You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin machine

I flew past La Brea, Schwabīs and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my sixtaillight
He passed me Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead manīs Curve

Well, the last thing I remember Doc
I started to swerve
I then I saw the Jag slide in to the curve
I know never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right

Wonīt come back from Dead manīs curve

Chorus
Dead manīs curve
Dead manīs curve
Dead manīs curve
Wonīt come back from Dead mans curve
