Starship Lyrics - Paul Kantner

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 essense
