Jefferson Starship - Shadowlands lyrics

Kantner Young girl in the city She was a small town girl in the middle of the city of light “What am I doing here?” she cried. “What am I doing here?” “I want to be dangerous Like a fire in the sky There's burning barricades in the streets And fire in my eyes.” [chant] So there she sat with a diamond bullet in the Center of her heart No a mile from there are people living ten to A room Not a mile from here and a few streets further on They're sleepin' in doorways, boxes, some of them children And the sound of gunfire, cracks the night In the shadow lands And the saxophone, in the shadow lands, sings [chant] She had nothing on but the radio Her hair was nighttime black and here eyes compelling Compelling me to dreams, “Go out and change the world,” she said Compelling me to action In the night striped with lightening She will come and feed on dreams Hair streaming forth, burnin' with desire And the storm deepens, cracks with thunder Lust enters into it, s**! Mouth! Sweet! Blood red! [chant] And as the sky explodes And I'm drawn to action (with her) It's like the First time that you really fell in love And your both on the battle lines And it's like the first time that you're really f**in' too Alive in the bed with the woman you're f**in' Who's f**in' you She is incredible, monumental, better than Jesus She's a guide through the chaos, a road to the pa**ion Between the earth and sky, where love is like a drug And everything is different And we two will love each other And we will still remember our first kiss As the action takes over No thought of circumstance, or consequence And all the rules have changed And she's a specialist, in darkness, in the shadow lands.
