John Tabacco, Peter Kearns - The Drive In's on Fire Lyrics

THE DRIVE IN'S ON FIRE

We've parked this baby blue Thunderbird for the last five nights

And I've found that cheese pizza with double feature is your biggest desire

From the moment the lion roars you're glued to every single scene

But there's no doubt about it - tonight we must live without it

I'm sad to say the drive-in's on fire


But down Lover's Lane the sky looks wonderful

And the dashboard's sweet refrain plays in living color

I know you love a mystery by low beam light

But they delayed the screening for another evening

The drive-in's on fire


It's been so pleasing getting to know you

But I want to know you even more

I hold in my hand three matches
from the stages of your fine, fine super fine career

But down Lover's Lane the stars look wonderful

And the dashboard's sweet refrain sings in living color

It gets so hot in here that the oxygen almost ignites

With only a murmur of Lana Turner and fuzzy dice on a wire

So in case we get home late we could say we ran out of gasoline

So we can stay in our bubble and get in trouble

Yeah, the drive-in's on fire
