"Big Sur Sky" lyrics

When the walls start, start to closing in
And you can't tell the losses from the wins
And you can't find the bee in your bonnet
And you can't drive your Mercury Comet
Step inside my surfin' time machine
Set the dial back to 1983
Where the big rock mountain crumbles to the sea
At the willow creek
Vista Point beach

Standing at the edge of the earth
Looking out on creation
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
You're a star in the Big Sur sky

The more things change, the more they stay the same
Along the Central Coast, Rocky Mountain range
Throw your cell phone off the Bixby Bridge
You can pick it up later, whenever later is
Without WiFi, without internet
You choose, radio or cassette
Southbound, Interstate 1
Check out the pelicans lazing in the sun

Standing at the edge of the earth
Looking out on creation
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
Standing at the end of the world
Looking out past the breakers
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
You're a star in the Big Sur sky

Looking out past the breakers
You're a star in the Big Sur sky

Gather 'round, all my old radicals
Time's come, seaside sabbatical
Seventeen to one, hundred fifty miles
And you wanna know why?
Do you wanna know why?
Do you wanna know why?

Standing at the edge of the earth
Looking out on creation
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
Standing at the end of the world
Looking out past the breakers
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
You're a star in the Big Sur sky
