Beach House On The Moon Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

by: Jimmy Buffett 

Cameron's getting logical 

a Vulcan in disguise 

the mysteries of the night 

are putting sparkles in his eyes 

he's looking for sound reasoning 

but the best that I can do 

is this transcendental story 

that I'll pass along to you 

pass the falls they call Victoria 

down the river named the Nile 

drifts a tiny little handmade boat 

it's shaped just like a smile 

and steered by a magician 

with the knowledge that he needs 

to keep him on his destined course 

pass the crocodiles and reeds

he's the admiral of the ocean 

the lone eagle in the sky 

he gave me my first sextant 

and he taught me how to fly 

it's been quite a lengthy passage 

from the dawn of time til now 

he has weathered the infernal storms 

in his trusty petite dhow 

he has soared above collassal waves, 

sailed the endless sea 

sometimes he resembles you 

sometimes he looks like me 

I saw him through my telescope 

on a cloudless night in June 

as he rested between voyages 

at his beach house on the moon 

Photos 

there are windows to the galaxies 

and hallways to the past 

there are trapdoors to the future 

and a splintered ancient mast 

There are relics from Apollo trips 

when the earth men came to play 

and a hammock from a distant star 

out in the Milky Way 

he's the admiral of the ocean 

the lone eagle in the sky 

he gave me my first sextant 

and he taught me how to fly 

I saw him through my telescope 

on a cloudless night in June 

as he rested between voyages 

at his beach house on the moon 

a striped bass breaks the surface 

as the sunset fades away 

and our journey from the sea of storms 

takes us home besides the bay 

we go fishing in the ocean 

we go travelling back in time 

like the song says teach your children 

to go fishing with their mind 

Cameron's contemplating 

I'm not sure just what he thinks 

is my dad some kind of lunatic 

with his stories and high hijinks 

then he says when I get old and gray 

and feel like I'm marooned 

he will take me in his rocketship 

to that beach house on the moon
