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 »

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.”

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 saxaphone, in the shadow lands, sings

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, sex! Mouth! Sweet! Blood red!

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 fuckin' too
Alive in the bed with the woman you're fuckin'
Who's fuckin' you

She is incredible, monumental, better than Jesus
She's a guide through the chaos, a road to the passion
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.
