June's Stolen Car

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 Hanging 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 boyfriends 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 In to 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 lightning On a midnight mile And they snuck in to the back streets Of a backwater town And they idled at the gas station Nobody round But then a voice came loud Saying 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 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 Running 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 in to 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
