Santa Ana Winds - Lakes

Los Angeles, a spoiled family

When you’re in paradise and it’s all you see

But tonight there’s trees falling in the streets

Breaking power lines, breaking hearts that beat

And those mothers cry as their babies sleep

Praying, 'take this fear away'

And they wonder why they were so afraid

In the morning light next day

And those Santa Ana winds

They come blowing every year

And those Santa Ana winds

They take away what we hold dear

So blow it, blow it down

You could shake up this whole town

Because maybe what we need

Are Santa Ana winds

Those are homeless men standing in the rain

Praying, 'Who will take away this pain?'

Not there’s mud slides in town on PCH

And it’s ruining her shotgun wedding day

And that bride to be gave more than she could see

When she gave herself away

And that homeless man, he’s still in the rain

Screaming, 'Who will take, who will take this pain?'

And those Santa Ana winds

They come blowing every year

And those Santa Ana winds

They take away what we hold dear

So blow it, blow it down

You could shake up this whole town

Because maybe what we need

Are Santa Ana winds
