i love those old teenage car crash songs and i've always wanted to do one. each of those songs is like a mini opera - a slice of the old dramatic conflict between the teenager who doesn't think they'll ever die and the fact that nobody is immune to hurt. the challenge is to write a song that is a kind of snapshot of the instant of the crash...

Lyrics
Your momma said stay out of that hot rod
no good will come from a boy and a fast car
Your momma said stay out of that hot rod
no good will come from a boy and a fast car
But i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
yeah i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
i was staring through the windshield
at the lights in the trees
thinking about kissing you
later in the backseat
when i felt the traction start to go
so I gripped the wheel and shifted low
But i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
yeah i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
you like the way it scared you
the world through the windshield
rushing up to meet you
like it was glad to see you...
no good will come from a boy and a fast car
Your momma said stay out of that hot rod
no good will come from a boy and a fast car
But i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
yeah i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
i was staring through the windshield
at the lights in the trees
thinking about kissing you
later in the backseat
when i felt the traction start to go
so I gripped the wheel and shifted low
But i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
yeah i'm alright baby you're alright
cause nobody dies on saturday night
you like the way it scared you
the world through the windshield
rushing up to meet you
like it was glad to see you...

What a perfect genre.
Man, I just logged on for 30 seconds to start downloading missed tunes and I smashed into this one. I love the way this kicks in at the chorus. Very dramatic and exciting musically and lyrically.
The end was a real shocker for me. The sweet strings and those chilling lyrics.... rushing up to meet you like it was glad to see you? Great poetry.
