Southern California Songtext
von Ace of Base

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 kind of 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 chanted
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
