Santa Ana Winds
When the wind decides that it's time to rise
To spread a little hell through the heartland
It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke
Through the desert night
And the wings of fire keep climbin' higher

See the flames cuttin' hard through the homeland
It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night
You're wakened from your dream by a siren's scream
Trapped by the walls that surround you
Then it's will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free?

In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase
The wind's like a love of a woman
It takes a mighty mean bitch
Some fire witch  to set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind
And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in
And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind
Now the air is calm, and the heart grows numb
The ashes burn low in the heartland
'Til again the wind starts closin' in to set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's blowin' cross my heart tonight
Nothing you can do is gonna change her mind
And woman I want your love
I need that passion deep within
Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna take your life tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind
And ain't it a lot like love
The way desire takes you in
Swept away with the Santa Ana wind
