Lyrics

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
