June's Stolen Car - The Paper Kites

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

Givе me just a little and I'll give it back to you

Ooh firе 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
