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
(CHORUS)
Red light across a grey 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 Clam
Shack
Fall burning in the waves
(CHORUS)
The carnival town is a roulette wheel
Everybody understands
All the strangers come and try to make a fortune
Built upon the sand
In her bathing suit and shoes
Through the out-of-towners
Tangled up in traffic
Crying out the news
(CHORUS)
Red light across a grey 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 Clam
Shack
Fall burning in the waves
(CHORUS)
The carnival town is a roulette wheel
Everybody understands
All the strangers come and try to make a fortune
Built upon the sand
