Los Angeles Is Burning Lyrics

Los Angeles Is Burning lyrics

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of a blue

St. Anne's skirts are billowing

But down here in the city of the lime lights

The fans of Santa Ana are withering



And you can't deny that living is easy

If you never look behind the scenery

It's show time for dry climes

And bedlam is dreaming of rain



When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So, many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease and Los Angeles is burning



This is not a test of the emergency broadcast system

Where malibu fires and radio towers conspire to dance again

And I cannot believe the media Mecca they're only trying to peddle reality

Catch it on prime time, story at nine the whole world is going insane



When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease and Los Angeles is burning



A placard reads, 'The end of days'

Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze

More a question than a curse how could Hell be any worse?

The flames are stunning the cameras running so take warning



When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease and Los Angeles is burning
