I flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights, And all the Jag could see were my six taillights He 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 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" 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 drag race takes place along L.A.'s famed Sunset Boulevard. "Vine," "La Brea," "Crescent Heights" and "Doheny" are cross streets; "Schwab's" is the legendary drug-store-with-soda-fountain where movie stars hung out (since torn down; but nicely depicted in the 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard"). Jan Berry's (of Jan & Dean) near-fatal car crash (April 1966) ironically happened on Sunset Boulevard, but further west than the locations mentioned in this song; near Whittier Drive in Beverly Hills Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Mama Didnt Lie, Mama Didnt Lie, Dead Mans Curve, Heart And Soul, Little Old Lady From Pasadena, New Girl In School, Popsicle, Sidewalk Surfin, Surf City, The Little Old Lady From Pasadena, DER ROTE KNOPF, DIE SONNE DIE SCHEINT, FLASHGOTT, ICH M?CHTE NICHT DASS IHR MEINE LIEDER SINGT, IRGENDWIE IRGENDWO IRGENDWANN, S?HNE STAMMHEIMS, WWWHITLERDE, B?RGER VON KONSOLIEN, En Natt Forbi, Mor, Jeg Vil Tilbake, PaAn Igjen, PAn Igjen, PAn Igjen, Ryktet Forteller, Sommerfuggel I Vinterland, All I Do Is Dream Of You, Bambina, Beautiful Lady In Blue, I Wanna Be Loved, Im Shooting High, Melody From The Sky, Night Is Young And Youre So Beautiful, UNTIL THE REAL THING COMES ALONG, Until The Real Thing Comes Alongjg, Above And Beyond (the Call Of Love), All I Ever Need Is You, All The Time, Any Old Way You Do, Banks Of The Ohio, Beautiful People, Belle Of The Ball, Beyond The Sunset, Born A Woman, Break My Mind, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Burning Bridges, But Not For Love My Dear, Can You Feel It, Completely, Crying For Love, Other Jan and Dean song Lyrics Baby Talk Lyrics Heart And Soul Lyrics New Girl In School Lyrics Popsicle Lyrics Ride The Wild Surf Lyrics Sidewalk Surfin Lyrics Surf City Lyrics The Little Old Lady From Pasadena Lyrics Other Artists Jan and Kjeld Lyrics Jan Arden Lyrics Jan Bradley Lyrics Jan Dean Lyrics Jan Delay Lyrics Jan Delay feat Semsimilia Lyrics Jan Eggum Lyrics Jan Garber Lyrics Jan Howard Lyrics Jan Johansen Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
