Lyrics

CALIFORNIA'S ON FIRE

California’s on fire again
California’s on fire again
And the orange groves at night
Burn expensive and bright
Cause California’s on fire again

Embers and sparks filled the air
Embers and sparks filled the air
As my sister’s left hand
Touched the gold of the band
I swear that there were sparks in the air

Then a rain came to cool down the hills
Yes, a rain came to cool down the hills
And a blanket of smoke
Rolled itself down the coast
When a rain came to cool down the hills

And the water fell crystal and clean
Yes, the water it fell crystal and clean
Like the tears in my eyes
For my brother and bride
Yeah, the water it fell crystal and clean

But the soil drank reckless and hard
Yes, the soil drank reckless and hard
And it belched out a toast
And then slumped down the slopes
Cause the soil drank reckless and hard

Now it feels like I’m running through mud
Yes, it feels like I’m running through mud
Cause the faster I go
Seems the deeper the hole
Yes, it feels like I’m running through mud

It was all blue skies and birds the next day
It’s all sunshine and birds the next day
And there was nothing to do
But to bake and to bloom
It was all blue skies and birds the next day

    California, she’s always a mess
    California, she’s always a mess
    And the here and the now is all she can vow
    Cause tomorrow’s a mystery furled on her brow
    And I swear that in time
    She’ll repeat the design
    Cause California’s a beautiful mess

But right now she’s on fire again
Right now she’s on fire again
And the orange groves at night
They burn festive and bright
Cause California’s on fire
