submarine races

Don't wait up, dad.
Kerrie is gone
to the submarine races
and she won't be back
any time soon.

Running the battery
down with the radio.
Running the engine
to keep themselves warm.

Don't be angry, mom
they didn't mean to be out late.
Don't be angry, dad
they didn't mean to fall asleep,
fall asleep.

[[ This one is from life (and from death), about a 15-year-old girl from our school, our grade, who went parking with her boyfriend. They left the engine running and she died of carbon monoxide poisoning. I think he lived, somehow. ]]
