Lyrics

Starship…… starship take me…… take me where I want to go
Out there…… among the planets…… let a billion suns cast my shadow
Starship…… starship take me…… stretch our legs in time and space
Take a passage…… through the vacuum…… let me feel the stars burnin' on my face

The countdown

Ten for the gravity - checkpoint!
Nine for polarity - checkpoint!
Eight for the (???)
Seven for the prismatic time warp
Six for the spirit of the captain, captain
Five for the power of the nucleus nebula
Four for the eyes, ears, nose, think, feel, speak
Three for the many levels
Two for the chromosome
One for the energy
One for the energy
One-check!
One-check!
One-check! one-check! one-check! one-check!

Blast off

Leaving the solar system…… leaving the solar system…… leaving the solar system…… leaving the solar system…… leaving… leaving… leaving… leaving… ahhhh, ahh, ahh……………

Now in outer space

Rob speaking in a alien language
It's cold in sunfire glory
From this point I rise to infinity..
(Many inhuman sounds)
(I am still attempting to translate correctly)

The message revealed from outer space

There is a land whose beauty is almost unimaginable to the human mind
(In a daze?) we stand there and look further than the ordinary eye can see
Children, far above the roof of this world
We can encompass vistas of the worlds
There is a land where the sun shines eternally
Eternally, eternally
Out there in outer space is a living, blazing fire so vital and alive
That it (burns our eyes to witness it's spendor?)

Kick out the jams motherfuckers !
Yeah! i, i, i, i, I'm gonna
I'm gonna kick 'em out ! yeah !
Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that I could get crazy now baby
Cause we all got in tune
And when the dressing room got hazy now baby

I know how you want it child
Hot, quick and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you're doin'it right
Let me up on the stand
And let me kick out the jam
Yes, kick out the jams
I want to kick'em out !

Yes I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feeling
In the sound that abounds
And resounds and rebounds off the ceiling

You gotta have it baby
You can't do without
When you get that feeling
You gotta sock'em out
Put that mike in my hand
And let me kick out the jam
Yes ! kick out the jams
I want to kick'em out
( guitar )

So you got to give it up
You know you can't get enough miss mackenzie
Cause it gets in your brain
It drives you insane
With the frenzy

The wigglin guitars girl
The crash of the drums
Make you wanna keep-a-rockin'
Till the morning comes

Let me be who I am
And let me kick out the jam
Yes, kick out the jams
I done kicked em out !!!

Let it come on down babe in the midnight hour

Let it come on down baby in the midnight hour

Let it come on down down down
Let it come on down down down
Let it come on down down down
Let it come on down down down
In the midnight hour

Can't you feel it children
All around you
Well can't you feel it children
All around you

And it's all for you you you and it's all for you you you

And it's all for you you you and it's all for you you you
