Paul Kantner - 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 OH SO DIFFICULT TO SEE YOU

AND OH 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

Though 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
