  • By: jimmy buffett, mac mcanally
  • Lindbergh left long island in 1927
  • He thumbed his nose at gravity
  • And climbed into the heavens.
  • When he returned to earth that night
  • Everything had changed
  • For the pilot and the planet
  • Everything was rearranged
  • Were a pretty mixed up bunch
  • Of crazy human beings
  • Its written on our rocketships
  • And in early cave wall scenes
  • How does it happen?
  • How do we know?
  • Who sits and watches?
  • Who does the show?
  • Some people love to lead
  • Some refuse to dance
  • Some people play it safely
  • Others take a chance
  • Still, its all a mystery
  • This place we call the world
  • Where most live as oysters
  • While some become pearls
  • Now elvis was the only man
  • From north east mississippi
  • Who could shake his hips
  • And still be loved by
  • Rednecks, cops and hippies
  • Its something more than dna
  • That tells us who we are
  • Its method and magic
  • We are of the stars
  • Some never fade away
  • Some crash and burn
  • Some make the world go round
  • Others watch it turn
  • Still, its all a mystery,
  • This place we call the world
  • Most are fine as oysters
  • While some become pearls
