Flight Of The Skajaquada Lyrics

When clouds of iron gather nigh, blackening the winter sky,
Storms gather fury from the lake, best hurry home and refuge take,
For soon the worst will come to pass, and ice will turn your routes to glass,
While in the north the beast awakens, from his year long slumber taken,
His howl the fury of the gales, with deadly curves that rarely fail,
To send your autos into flight, through blizzard's curtain blinding white,
See driving skills you lack with the, FLIGHT OF THE SKAJAQUADA

This song is about the Skajaquada Expressway in Buffalo, NY. (rt 198)

the 198 is a narrow, high speed, elevated highway in Buffalo known for its high accident rate during the winter months (or any other time of year) - when it becomes treacherous due to the lake effect snowfalls (cold fronts from Canada coming across Lake Erie) and freezing temperatures.

I have known this song since a friend and I discovered the Cereal Killer album on audio cassette tape in the local town library. it has been part of the cement that has kept our friendship strong for three dacades now!

We have now also discovered Frank Zappa, and I just noticed this song sounds uncannily like Frank Zappa's song Them or Us!
