Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just one more of those 82 nights
We were all cowboys ready to ride
Fire the gun, turn your eyes to the sea
Through the night, riding your trigger with me
[Chorus]
Your local station gives out the news
The sky is burning in Malibu
[Verse 2]
As the beach turns an ominous green
Bathed by light from the shape in the sky
We all tanned in a new kind of sun
Something's wrong, we're getting ready to run
[Chorus]
Your local station knows what to say
It's just a fuel burn so it's okay
Please hold the phone calls, there's no more news
It's just a sky fire in Malibu
[Instrumental]
Pros to cons from diplomats
Liars, liars
Words designed to tranquilize
Fighters, fighters
[Instrumental]
Your local station screams out the news
The sky is burning in Malibu
Please hold the phone calls, there is no need for alarm
It's just a sky fire, sky fire burning in Malibu
