Wooden Ships Lyrics by Jefferson Airplane

Wooden Ships Lyrics

    (UPS) EARTH JULY 1975
    Black sails knifing through the pitchblende night
    Away from the radioactive landmass madness
    From the silver-suited people searching out
    Uncontaminated food and shelter on the shores
    No glowing metal on our ship of wood only
    Free happy crazy people naked in the universe
    WE SPEAK EARTH TALK
    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
    I can see by your coke my friend that you're from the other side
    There's just one thing I got to know
    Can you tell me please 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
    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
    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 barren land
    Horror grips us as we watch you die
    All we can do is echo your anguished cry and
    Stare as all you human feelings die
    We are leaving
    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 leaving
    You don't need us
    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 C'MON
    GO RIDE THE MUSIC
    C'MON RIDE IT CHILD
