“End of the Chase: Pursued by a state trooper investigating a hit-and-run accident, commercial fisherman Richard J. Hubbard, 24, sped down a Seattle street at more than 60 mph, overturned, and hit a utility pole. The impact hurled him from the car, impaling him on a climbing spike. He died 35 minutes later in hospital.”—Close-up John Whitehead photo Newsweek June 3, 1963

Here I am folks—
Hanging around just for you
I’ve got 35 minutes

It seems like I’ve been—
Hanging around forever
My life wasn’t easy

I can’t really talk—
My lungs full of blood now
I’m fading quickly

Some cars are just bad—
I shouldn’t have stolen it
A monster inside
