World Party - Santa Barbara lyrics

Going down to Santa Barbara, Gonna watch the sun go down. Think how dreams of people fade But the world still spins around. Peace and love will be reborn, Sure as the waves will come. Did you think you could hold back the dawn, Try to block out the sun? Down in Santa Barbara. Black and white, and colour too, I set them down from memory. Before my eyes the cavalcade Performs it's own a**embly, This sad and funny comic drama, I wish my mind was stone. That savours all the pa**ing many, But knows itself alone. Down in Santa Barbara. There's more to life then being hip, Or hanging upon the ground. Its a doorway that you're standing in, Ssh! Can you hear the sound? The thunderclouds float on the sea, The lightning in the heart. All that's gone is you and me. Love stops and then it starts, Down in Santa Barbara.
