There’ll be peace in the valley, but not today
Them sirens are singing away
I’m getting my shovel, and I’ll start to dig
It looks like this one’s real big
This blood red sky
Won’t let me sleep much tonight
Bring out the hoes and cut down the brush
It’s pretty, but not good for much
But feeding the fire and keeping it alive
It must die so we can survive
But it’s so strong
The Santa Ana moves it on
Still a few miles away
But the winds are blowing this way
This blood red sky
Won’t let me sleep at all tonight
Hell is one over and over the ridge
The canyons are under siege
Earthquake country, desert backed
On a fault line tightrope act
On a fault line tightrope act
But it’s so strong
The Santa Ana moves it on
Still a few miles away
But the winds are blowing this way
This blood red sky
Won’t let me sleep much tonight
This blood red sky
Won’t let anyone sleep tonight
