Kiss of Death
well I got behind the wheel of a seven seven Honda
when I was just sixteen
a finer car had never been built
at least not accordin’ to me
+well I drove that thing for at least two years
+I even drove it on LSD
busted the timin belt, boy a lick a chicken gig *
and a curse fell down on me
Fill:
with the Honda dead I was in a big fix
+oh, woe is me
so I signed me the title to an ’81 Accord
with fine upholstery
+well that damn thing only lasted 2 months
+2 carburetors and a whole lot more
and even though Rush sounded good on the stereo
I had killed that car
Chorus:
+for I am the kiss of death
+to cars, the kiss of death
+give me the keys and see
+the car is history
(Banjo Solo)
1990 shined so bright
see, I thought I had shaken the curse
an act of fate and not a bit too late
the Mazda ate away
she didn’t look like much but it was fuckin’ tough
runnin, but not too fast
but eat the rich, y’know life’s a bitch
well, years later the ol’ girl passed
(Mando Solo)
well ‘94 was a dirty whore
that curse just followed me
a pal gave me an ’80 olds
a white Cutlass Supreme
well I was floored, it had two doors
I was livin’ the American dream
but 2 years later it took a crap
and I began to scream
(Chorus)
’96 was not a kick
I had an ’85 Century
Buicks are nice, and I felt no fright
drivin’ back from Illinois at night
+well on the maiden voyage I dumped the transmission fluid
+and ran it for two weeks
it’s still dead in my driveway
automotive death I wreak
(Chorus)
