Jefferson Starship

I want to go to the stars
I want to go to the stars
I want to go for the morning star
She woke from a start from a dream of stars
Lets talk about metaphysics she sighed in her bvds
She didnt need comfort just some verbal intercourse
A dance around the intelligence tree
Where was the light before it came here?
Who held the power to begin the spin?
What is in store? what am I here for?
Is it love? is it war? is there more?
There she stands at my mind again
The age of poetry had begun
Wasnt that a time for love?
Wasnt that a time for imagination?
Wasnt that a time for the light?
Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
Out together on the streets
At the barricades or in the sheets
What a scintillating bitch with her eyes on the light
"lets go to hell together" in her eyes
Why do we remember the past and not the future?
Whats inside a black hole? what is the nature of the universe?
How does it work? which way is west in space?
Is there sex in heaven? is it the best?
Connect me with my intellect, she lied
You cant hide the sexual drive
Friction makes sparks, sparks make fire
Fire makes heat and the heat will endure til the
Animal comes with a ferocity not unlike
You and me in the throes of poetry
A lovers eye can stare an eagle blind
A lovers ear can hear the lowest sound
A lovers lip taste like the dream
I know you like it on top dont stop
Wasnt that a time for the light?
Wasnt that a time for bright ideas?
Wasnt that a time for love and danger?
Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
The only answer that I have found
Above the sky or below the ground
Is that there are no answers
There never were any answers
There will never be any answers
And as gertrude stein said, "thats the answer"
Im not afraid of the future
Im not afraid of ideas
Im not afraid to shake the foundation
Of the wonder years
These are visions of tomorrow
These are visions of the strength of ideas
Like matter and energy, ideas shape the sky
Of the future years
In my world, there are no hungry children
In my world, love is true
In my world, teachers get paid more than baseball players
In my world, there is you, but
In the real world, people get hungry
In the real world, people need love
In the real world, people need food and light and ideas and hope and love and a soothing human touch
Just like theyre
Standing in the presence of god
Standing in the halls of imagination
Every boy a lion, every girl a tiger
It just takes a moment to step through the fire
Adventure beckons from above
The age of poetry begins again with love
Isnt this a time for the light?
Isnt this a time for imagination?
Isnt this a time for great new ideas?
Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
Isnt this a time for love?
Isnt this a time to shake the foundations?
I know you like it on top, dont stop
Isnt this a time for the light
I am not afraid of the futr
