Dead Man’s Curve (Dr. Landy Version) Lyrics by Dean Torrence

The Teammates: Twenty Years of Making Music 1965-1985

2022

[Verse 1]
\nI was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
\nWhen an XKE pulled up on my right
\nHe rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
\nAnd challenged me there and then to a drag
\nI said "You're on, buddy, my wheel's running fine
\nLet's come off the line now at Sunset and Vine"
\nBut I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve
\nLet's race all the way
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nTo Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)
\nWell, at Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, you'd bеst keep away)
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curvе, I can hear 'em say)
\nWon't come back from Dead Man's Curve
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nThe strip was deserted late Friday night
\nWe were bugging each other while we sat at the light
\nWe both popped the clutch when the light turned green
\nYou should've heard the whine from my screamin' machine
\nI flew past La Brea, Schwab and Crescent Heights
\nAnd all the Jag could see were my six taillights
\nHe passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
\nBut I pulled her out and there we were
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAt Dead's Man Curve
\nAt Dead Man's Curve
\n
\n[Interlude]
\nDr. Landy speaking
\nWell, the last thing I remember, doc, I started to swerve
\nThen I saw that Jag slide into the curve
\nI know I'll never forget that horrible sight
\nI guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
\n
\n[Outro]
\nWon't back from Dead Man's Curve
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)
\nWell, at Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, you'd best keep away)
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say)
\nWon't come back from Dead Man's Curve
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)
\nWell, at Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, you'd best keep away)
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say)
\nWon't come back from Dead Man's Curve
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)
\nWell, at Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, you'd best keep away)
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say)
\nWon't come back from Dead Man's Curve
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)
\nWell, at Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, you'd best keep away)
\nDead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say)
\nWon't come back from Dead Man's Curve
\n(Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play)\n\n
