Paul Kantner Starship Lyrics

Starship Lyrics

Words: Kantner, Slick, Balin, Blackman
Music: Kantner

What you gonna do when you feel your lady rollin`
How you gonna feel when you see your lady strollin`
On the deck of the starship
With her head hooked into Andromeda
C`mon Hijack
Gotta get back and ahead to the things that matter
Amerika hates her crazies 
And you gotta let go you know
gotta let go you know
gotta let go you know
gotta let go you know or else you stay
  SPILLIN` OUT OF THE STEEL GLASS
  GRAVITY GONE FROM THE CAGE
  A MILLION POUNDS GONE FROM YOUR HEAVY MASS
  ALL THE YEARS GONE FROM YOUR AGE
Hydroponic gardens and forests
Glistening with lakes in the Jupiter starlite
Room for babies and Byzantine dancing astronauts of renown
The magician and the pantechnicon
Take along the farmer and the physician
  We gotta get out and down
  Back into the future
  Beyond our own time again
  Reachin` for tomorrow
It`s so fine   Starshine
THE MELTING ACID FEVER STREAKIN` THRU MY MIND
MAKES IT AH SO DIFFICULT TO SEE YOU
AND AH SO EASY TO TOUCH YOU
I MELT WITH YOU
FEEL WITH YOU
MAKE LOVE FOR YOU
AT YOU
AROUND YOU
I LOVE YOU

Dear Brumus, the ship`ll be ours and you got to roll with it
And tho` your master`s head`s blown off you got to go with it
Roll with the natural flow
Like water off a spinning ball
Out - the one remaining way to go
Free - the only way to fall
  The light in the night is the sun
  And it can carry you around the planetary ground
  And the planetary whip of the sun
  Will carry you well past Gideon
  And the people you see will leave you be
  more than the ones you`ve known before
Hey - rollin` on
We come and go like a comet
We are wanderers
Are you anymore?
The land is green and you make it grow
And you gotta let go you know
You gotta let go you know
You gotta let go you know
Or else you stay
  MANKIND GONE FROM THE CAGE
  ALL THE YEARS GONE FROM YOUR AGE
At first
  I was irridescent
Then
  I became transparent
Finally
  I was absent
