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
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 lightning
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
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

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

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 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
