American Radio in homes and bars
It's music to my ears in a car
Pop stars [ABBA, Roxy, T-Rex]
My seatbelt's tight, I feel secure
Both hands upon the wheel, My insured
If you're feeling low, driving's the

Oh ah oh oh ah
Oh ah oh oh ah

1) This should mean 'S-Kurve', because in the french lyrics it is
'virage en S' means 'S turn' in english. IMHO the translator had
either a bad or got the meaning of german 'Spiralkurve' wrong.
German means the same as english 'spiral' which is something
different.
2) one describes lamps which use iodine gas to produce light. They're
often as car headlights. It could also refer to the color of the
headlights of in France, which use yellow headlights.
3) This is a road name. Europa 8
4) Could also be 'Oben Lichter', means the same. I never really figured
out, because Ivan's french accent speaking german doesn't give it
clearly. :-)
There are big similarities to the french lyrics, many of the
lines translate to the same english words. At first these seemed
quite meaningless to me, but IMHO they *great* the feelings
and things you have in your head, when driving at night.
