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]
