Deadman's Curve Lyrics - Jan & Dean

I was cruising in my Stingray late one night 

When an XKE pulled up on the right 

He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag 

And challenged me then and there to a drag 

I said You're on, buddy, my mill's running fine 

Let's come off the line now at Sunset and Vine 

But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve 

Let's race all the way to Deadman's Curve 

*Deadman's Curve it's no place to play 

Deadman's Curve You best keep away 

Deadman's Curve I can hear them say 

You won't come back from Deadman's Curve

The strip was deserted late Friday night 

We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light 

We both popped the clutch when the light turned green 

You should've heard the whine from my screaming machine 

I flew passed La Brea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights 

And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights 

He passed me at Doheny and we started to swerve 

And I pulled it out and there we were at Deadman's Curve 

repeat * 

Well. the last thing I remember, doc I started to swerve 

And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve 

I know i'll never forget that horrible sight 

I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right 

repeat* to fade
