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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
In the distance there's the light of San Diego [x3]
