jan and dean - Dead Man`s Curve слова песни
I was cruisin` in my Stingray late one night,When an XKE pulled up on the rightHe rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag,And challenged me then and there to a dragI said "You`re on buddy -- my mill`s running fine,Let`s come off the line now at Sunset and VineBut I`ll go you one better, if you`ve got the nerve,Let`s race all the way -- to Dead Man`s Curve"(Dead Man`s Curve) is no place to play(Dead Man`s Curve) you`d best keep away(Dead Man`s Curve) I can hear `em say:"Won`t come back from Dead Man`s Curve"The street was deserted late Friday night;We were buggin` each other while we sat out the lightWe both popped the clutch when the light turned green,You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin` machine!I flew past La Brea, Schwab`s and Crescent Heights,And all the Jag could see were my six taillightsHe passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve,But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead Man`s Curve(Dead Man`s Curve) is no place to play(Dead Man`s Curve... [sounds of skids and crashes] )(Spoken): "Well, the last thing I remember, Doc,I started to swerveAnd then I saw the Jag slide into the curveI know I`ll never forget that horrible sight,I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right"Won`t come back from Dead Man`s Curve...(Dead Man`s Curve) is no place to play(Dead Man`s Curve) you`d best keep away(Dead Man`s Curve) I can hear `em say:"Won`t come back from Dead Man`s Curve"(Dead Man`s Curve) is no place to play(Dead Man`s Curve) you`d best keep away(Dead Man`s Curve) I can hear `em say:"Won`t come back from Dead Man`s Curve" (fade)-----Notes from this Californian (JayDeeBee1@aol.com): This song`s ill-fated dragrace takes place along L.A.`s famed Sunset Boulevard. "Vine," "La Brea,""Crescent Heights" and "Doheny" are cross streets; "Schwab`s" is thelegendary drug-store-with-soda-fountain where movie stars hung out (sincetorn down; but nicely depicted in the 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard"). JanBerry`s (of Jan & Dean) near-fatal car crash (April 1966) ironically happenedon Sunset Boulevard, but further west than the locations mentioned in thissong; near Whittier Drive in Beverly Hills.
