Einstein Was a Surfer

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
 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
 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
