Jefferson Starship - The Light (Ginger & Metaphysics) lyrics

I want to go to the stars I want to go to the stars I want to go to the morning star She awoke with a start from a dream of stars Let's talk metaphysics she sighed in her BVD's She didn't 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 Wasn't that a time for the light? Wasn't that a time to shake the foundations? Wasn't that a time for love? Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes Out together on the streets At the barricade in the streets What a scintillating b**h with her eyes on the light “Let's go to hell together” in her eyes Why do we remember the past and not the future? What's inside a black hole? What is the nature of the universe? How does it work? Which way is west in space? Is there s** in heaven? Is it the best? Connect me with my intellect she sighed You can's hide the s**ual drive Friction makes sparks Sparks make fire Fire make heat and the heat will endure ‘til the Animal comes with ferocity Not unlike You and me In the throes of poetry A lover's eye can stare and eagle blind A lover's ear can hear the lowest sound A lover's lips taste like a dream I know you like it on top Don't stop Wasn't that a time for the light? Wasn't that a time to shake the foundations? Wasn't 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, “That's the answer.” I am not afraid of the future I am not afraid of ideas I am 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 imaginary 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 light and hope and ideas and food And love and a soothing human touch. Just like they're 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 Isn't this a time for the light Isn't this a time to shake the foundation Isn't this a time for love and danger Go out and stuff the universe into your Isn't this a time for the light Isn't this a time to shake the foundation I know you like it on top, don't stop Isn't this a time for the light I am not afraid of the future
