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 been searching
All my life I been searching
I came to a crossroad, where a stranger gazed and spoke
He was looking kinda peculiar,
In a purple coloured cloak
He wore a token, never seen before
He said: All my life I been searching
All my life I 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 chanted
All my life I been searching
All my life I 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
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 been searching
All my life I 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
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
