Einstein Was A Surfer Lyrics - Songs From St. Somewhere - Jimmy Buffett

There's a photo of a genius 

Standing by the ocean 

In a pea coat and cool hat 

In 1943 

On a beach in Santa Barbara 

He's looking quite contented 

His world is only matter 

And energy 

Past the Channel Islands 

Out into the cosmos 

There are worlds in motion 

That only he can see 

He's smiling as he's thinking 

The harbor lights are blinking 

He's the smartest cookie 

Ever was, ever will be

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Einstein was a surfer 

There really is no doubt 

Cause the universe was his home break 

And we're still all paddlin' out 

On an iceberg off Newfoundland 

A lyric sits half-frozen 

Waiting for a comet 

To crash into the sea 

It's drifting towards the tropics 

And melting into topics 

Fills the sea with answers 

That have always worked for me 

Bass notes from the chasm 

At speeds that we can't fathom 

Music is the language 

Of the near and distant stars 

Photos 

Black holes humming b-flat 

Heard only by street cats 

Astronauts in orbit 

And singers in the bars 

Einstein was a sailor 

With a universal song 

His sails were tight, his course was right 

So let's just all cruise along 

Order to disorder 

It's the way we all fly 

Light speed is all you need 

To pass the future by 

There's a YouTube of a genius 

Gliding over liquid 

Sultan of the short board 

In two thousand and ten 

He looks like Valentino 

Moving like neutrinos 

To the oceans in the heavens 

Where no wave rider's been 

Einstein was a surfer 

Who found the perfect break 

Where the strings of time 

Meet the final chime 

It's the path all surfers take
