Donna rode her bike up past the police station In her bathing suit and shoes Through the out of towners Tangled up in traffic, crying out the news Red light across a gray ocean It's a fire on the bay Little town right on the water Burning down burning down again Mister fire marshal suspects the landlord Of the penny arcade While all his plastic prizes and Riley's clamshack Fall burning in the waves Red light across a gray ocean It's a fire on the bay Little town right on the water Burning down burning down again The carnival town is a roulette wheel Everybody understands Strangers come and try to make a fortune Built upon the sand Red light across a gray ocean It's a fire on the bay Little town right on the water Burning down burning down again Red light across a gray ocean It's a fire on the bay Little town right on the water Burning down burning down again
