Sudden Moves - Tim Staffell

Well, she was standing at the corner

Of Catalina and Vine

Now I stopped at a red light

She leaned in and asked for the time

Then she said, could she come for a ride?

‘Fore I could answer, she just slid on inside

The light changed and I pulled out into the line

And the smell of sweet roses

And the smoke from a French cigarette

She said: «The only way to live

Is to keep doin' things you regret»

From out of nowhere came a small .38

She said: «Just keep on drivin', boy

‘Cause I don’t wanna be late

Now the moon is risin' and I just can’t wait»

I was backed in a corner

She was losing control

My needle was skippin' the grooves

The she hissed at me, she said: «Don't make any sudden moves»

She said: «Take pity on me

I just can’t help myself

I’m on the road to nowhere

But you got something else, and I want some

Well, I just I wish I could get in on your act

But I keep on running in these same old tracks

Is this your first trip

On the highway to hell?"

She was lighter than air, deadlier than cyanide

And the moon was slippin' over the roofs

Something sort of told me

«Don't make any sudden moves»
