On the road to nowhere
Every day was just the same
So, I took my belongings
And hitchhiked no more to blame
To California
In the warm summer of love
All my life, I’ve been searching
All my life, I’ve been searching
I came to a crossroad
Where a stranger gazed and spoke
He was looking kinda peculiar
In a purple colored cloak
He wore a token
Never seen before
He said, «All my life, I’ve been searching»
«All my life, I’ve been searching»
Sunset in Southern California
And the morning seems so far, so far away
Sunset in Southern California
In the distance, there’s the light of San Diego
I came to his temple
At noon the second day
It was a lot of mumbling
In the shadows did they pray
Feeling kind of dizzy
A gong struck and people chant
«All my life, I’ve been searching»
«All my life, I’ve been searching»
Sunset in Southern California
And the morning seems so far, so far away (And it seems so far, so far away)
Sunset in Southern California
In the distance, there’s the light of San Diego
Then, a kind of leader
Appeared in fume and smoke
All dressed in silver
An authoritarian bloke
He turned around and talked to me
With a demagogic voice
«All my life, I’ve been searching»
«All my life, I’ve been searching»
Sunset in Southern California
And the morning seems so far, so far away (And it seems so far, so far away)
Sunset in Southern California
In the distance, there’s the light of San Diego
In the distance, there’s the light of San Diego
In the distance, there’s the light of San Diego
