Wooden Ships Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

You come sail, with this air for little bit, if you will 

There black sails knifing through the pitchblende night 

Away from the radioactive landmass madness 

From the silver-suited people searching out 

Uncontaminated food and water on the shores 

No glowing metal on our ship 

Only free happy crazy people naked in the Universe 

Go ride the music 

If you smile at me 

You know I will understand 

'Cause that is something everybody 

Everywhere does in the same language 

Well I can see by your coat my friend 

That you're from the other side 

There's just one thing I got to know 

Tell me please who won, who won? 

You must try some of my purple berries 

I been eating them for six or seven weeks now 

Haven't got sick once 

Probably keep us both alive 

Probably keep us both alive 

Probably keep us both alive 

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy 

Easy you know the way it's supposed to be 

Silver people on the shoreline leave us be 

Oh so very free and easy 

Sail away where the mornin' sun goes high 

Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly 

Take a sister by her hand 

Lead her far from this foreign land, yeah 

Horror grips us as we watch you die 

All we can do is echo your anguished cry 

Stare as all your human feelings die 

We are leavin', you don't need us 

You don't need us here anymore, you don't need us 

Go and take a sister by her hand 

Lead her far from this foreign land 

Somewhere where we might laugh again 

We are leavin', you don't need us 

Oh sail away, oh just sail away, oh but sail away 

Sailing ships on the water very free and easy 

Easy you know the way it's supposed to be 

Silver people on the shoreline leave us be 

Very free and gone 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no 

Go ride the music 

Go ride the music 

Go ride the music 

Go ride the music
