Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship is an American rock band formed in the early 1970s. The band has undergone several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining the same Jefferson Starship name. The current Jefferson Starship, led by co-founder David Freiberg, more closely resembles its original mix of psychedelic and electric folk music than the pop-driven tunes it was widely known for in the early to mid-1980s. It is not to be confused with Starship, a spin-off of the group featuring former co-lead singer Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick that also periodically tours. The latter group is most frequently identified with the 1980s pop tunes of the Jefferson Starship. more »

Now when you open your mouth, what comes out 
What's the first word, what's the first line? 
When you open your mouth and love comes out 
Then you know, you just sang the clear line 
I've heard people say it a thousand times 
In a thousand different ways 
I've heard people play it a thousand times 
And they know, they know that's the only way 
To play. 

You got to 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love. 

Now are you talking about what it is you know 
Or just repeating what it was you heard 
Someone told you just exactly what to say 
And you know, you know that's only one set 
Of words 
You got to play on love. 

I've heard people say it a thousand times 
In a thousand different ways 
I've heard people play it a thousand times 
And they know that's the only way to play 
You been a reading it without living it 
Now that's the golden prison we can always find 
Living in stories and living in books or 
We can live and leave all the stories behind. 

It's up to you and it's up to me 
Come down yelling timber through the 
Burning trees 
Who's been telling you about perfection 
And how did he get in here, that's the question. 

He must've 
Played on love 
Played on love 
Played on love 
Played on love. 

I've heard people say it a thousand times

You got to 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love. 

Reading it without living it

You got to 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love 
Play on love.
