[Verse 1]
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"

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long, long ride to the next town boy
If you want to start something new
Givе me just a little and I'll give it back to you

[Chorus]
Ooh, firе in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

[Verse 2]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight, yeah

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
