Carpenters - Deadman's Curve lyrics

The street was deserted late Friday night
We were bugging each other while
We sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when
The light turned green
You should have heard the whine
From my screaming machine

I flew past La Bream down to Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see
Were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny and
I started to swerve
But, I pulled it out and there we were
At Deadman's curve

Deadman's Curve is no place to play
Deadman's Curve
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 found out for myself
That everyone was right:

Won't come back from Deadman's Curve

Deadman's Curve is 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
