Lyrics

The Santa Ana Fire

(Spoken)
Where there's smoke there's fire
And the flames keep goin' higher
Where there's smoke there's fire
You're lucky if you're still alive

(Verse 1)
For every ounce of joy
We get tons and tons of pain
We plan with love and logic
Then it all just goes insane

(Verse 2)
For everyday of sunshine
We get a a thousand days of rain
That's the way it's always been
And how it always will remain

(Chorus)
The Tragedy of Bourbon Street
And the Fires of California
So many left too soon
But we're glad we got to know ya

Ten million prayers for mercy
Ride a Streetcar Named Desire
Hawaii's Isle of Maui
And the Santa Ana Fire

(Verse 3)
For every ounce of joy
We get tons and tons of pain
We plan with love and logic
Then it all just goes insane

(Verse 4)
For everyday of sunshine
We get a a thousand days of rain
That's the way it's always been
And how it always will remain

(Chorus)
The Tragedy of Bourbon Street
And the Fires of California
So many left too soon
But we're glad we got to know ya

Ten million prayers for mercy
Ride a Streetcar Named Desire
Hawaii's Isle of Maui
And the Santa Ana Fire

(Bridge)

The Santa Ana Wind was the blowtorch
Hate for infidels left 14 dead
Maui officials said "no water"
100 died and now it's on their head

(Chorus)
The Tragedy of Bourbon Street
And the Fires of California
So many left too soon
But we're glad we got to know ya

Ten million prayers for mercy
Ride a Streetcar Named Desire
Hawaii's Isle of Maui
And the Santa Ana Fire
Hawaii's Isle of Maui
And the Santa Ana Fire
