Jimmy Buffett - Oysters And Pearls Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
  • Thumbed his nose at gravity
  • And climbed into the heavens.
  • When he returned to earth that night everything changed,
  • For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged.
  • We're a pretty mixed up bunch
  • Of crazy human beans
  • It's written on our rocket ships
  • And in early cave wall scenes.
  • How does it happen,
  • How do we know,
  • Who sits and watches
  • Who does the show?
  • [Chorus:]
  • Some people love to lead
  • And some refuse to dance.
  • Some play it safely, other take a chance.
  • Still it's all a mystery
  • This place we call the world
  • Where most live as oysters
  • While some become pearls.
  • Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi
  • Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies.
  • It's something more than DNA that tells us who we are
  • It's method and it's magic, we are of the stars.
  • [Chorus]
  • Some never fade away, some crash and burn
  • Some make the world go round, other watch it turn.
  • Still it's all a mystery
  • This place we call the world.
  • Most are fine as oysters
  • While some become pearls.
