Surf in Hell
Riding the Flames: Unveiling the Surprising Depths of 'Surf in Hell'
Lyrics
Calling all surfers far and near
Calling surfers from distant places.
I think there's something that you might want to hear
Implying important information for surfers.
Had a little chat with a dead friend of mine
Had a conversation with a deceased friend.
Pulled out my Ouija board and dropped him a line
Used a Ouija board to communicate with the dead.
What he told me knocked me off my chair
Received shocking information from the dead friend.
You know me I'm pretty hard to scare, you know?
Expressing personal fearlessness.
what he told me has never been told
Revealing unheard information from the dead.
There's never been a secret so old, well now
Describing the ancient nature of the secret.
I couldn't hold it, I had to tell
Couldn't keep the secret and had to share it.
