June had dark eyes she was a maker of the rain
One side of her wild the other still like the plains
She had smoke on her breath and a light on her face

That said, "I don´t want to be a stone no more"
Well the full moon was high hangin´ clear the air was sweet
And the road was full of promise like the wheels at her feet
So she stole that old Mustang, took it ´round to her boyfriend´s
And said, "I know a place we can go"

It´s a long, long ride to the next town boy
If you want to start something new
Give me just a little and I´ll give it back to you

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

Well they drove all night into a pale pink dawn

Across the great salt plains, through the eye of the storm
Across the rivers and the deserts and the great divide
Fast as lightnin´ on a midnight mile
And they snuck into the back streets of a backwater town
And they idled at the gas station nobody round
But then a voice came loud sayin´, "Hands in the air
Turn the engine off and step outside"

It´s a long, long ride to the next town boy
If you want to start something new
Give me just a little and I´ll give it back to you

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight, yeah

Well they raced through the night June was mad as a loon
And she laughed like thunder, and she howled at the moon
They flew across the interstate runnin´ from the law
She said, "Now I ain´t a stone no more"
And the road was black and slick like oil across the lake
And they overshot a corner, smashed right through the gate
And they leapt into the sky, and they floated off the ground
And they steered towards the heavens, and they still ain´t come back down

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
