1
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
2
When an XKE pulled up on my right.
3
He rolled down the window of his shiny, new Jag
4
And challenged me then and there to a drag.
5
I said, "You're on, Buddy, my mill's running fine
6
Let's come of the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
7
But I'll go ya one better, if you've got the nerve
8
Let's race all the way...to Deadman's curve"
9
Chorus:
10
Deadman's curve-is no place to play
11
Deadman's curve-you best keep away
12
Deadman's curve-I can hear them say
13
You won't come back from Deadman's curve
14
The street was deserted late Friday night,
15
We were buggin' each other as we sat out the light
16
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
17
You shoulda heard the whine from my scremin' machine
18
I flew past La Brea, Schwabs, and Crescent Heights
19
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
20
He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
21
But I pulled it out and there we were: At Deadman's curve
22
Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
23
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
24
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
25
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right:
26
Won't come back from Deadman's curve!
27
Repeat chorus and fade
