Mau Mau
Put your old ladies back into bed
Your old men back into their graves
Cover their ears so they can't hear us sing
Cover their eyes so that can't see us play
Get out of the way
Let the people play
We're gonna get down on you
Come alive all over you
Dancin' down into your town.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was destroyed before
by a furry little ball that crawled along
the primeval jungle floor
and he stole the eggs of the dinosaur
Close your eyes & create the sound
Open your hands & rebuild the ground.
We are egg snatchers -
Flashin' sunshine children
Diamond thieves.
You unlease the dogs
of a grade-B movie star governor's war
while you sit in the dark -
Insane with the fear of dying
We'll ball in your parks
- Insane with the flash of living.
I am alive
I am human
I will be alive again.
So drop your fuckin' bombs
Burn your demon babies
I will be again - .
The rabid lover-feelin' the starch in your grin
Callin' for acid cocaine and grass
and receiving your homemade gin.
Push the button
Pull the switch
Cut the beam
C'mon make it march
Sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park.
You need to be out before you come in
and after you come you go
in the midst of Yang is a smaller part of Yin
and when it happens you know -
the dawn comes.
Hey Dick
whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant
both to us now and to you
We are the present
We are the future
You are the past
Pay your dues and get outta the way
'cause we're not the way you used to be
when you were very young
We're something new
We don't quite know what it is
or particularly care
We just do it - You gotta do it.
Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
Open your eyes there's a new world today
Open your hearts people are lovin'
Open it all we're here to stay
Open that door.
The Baby Tree
There's an island way out in the sea
where the babies they all grow on trees
and its jolly good fun
To swing in the sun
but you gotta watch out if you sneeze-sneeze
You gotta watch out if you sneeze.
Yeah, you gotta watch out if you sneeze
for swingin' up there in the breeze
You're liable to cough
You might very well fall off
and tumble down flop on your knees-knees
Tumble down flop on your knees.
And when the stormy winds wail
and the breezes blow high in a gale
there's a curious dropping and flopping and plopping
and fat little babies just hail-hail
Fat little babies just hail.
And the babies lie there in a pile
and the adults they come after awhile
and they always pass by
all the babies that cry
and take only babies that smile-smile
They take only babies that smile...
even triplets and twins if they'll smile.
Let's Go Together
Wherever I go I see you people
I see you people just like me
and whatever you do I want to do
and the Pooh and you and me together make three.
Let's go together
Let's go together
Let's go together right now.
(??????)
Wave goodbye to Amerika
Say hello to the garden.
You know I see - I see the way you feel
and I know that your life is real
Pioneer searcher refugee
I follow you and you follow me.
Let's go together
Let's go together
Let's go together right now.
Wave goodbye to Amerika
Say hello to the garden.
A Child Is Coming
Last electric Sunday mornin' waitin' in the park for the dawn
Listenin' to all the animals in the Park and in the city beyond
Flashin' with my lady. Sky goin' black to blue
She said I got a surprise for you.
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you.
What you gonna do when Uncle Samuel comes around
Askin' for the young one's name
and lookin' for the print of his hand for the files in their numbers game
I don't want his chance for freedom to ever be that slim
Let's not tell 'em about him --.
A child is coming
a child is coming
a child is coming to you.
It's gettin' better
like a mornin' to be born.
Sunrise
Sunrise
Surprise
Civilized Man
You were keeper to me
now your animal is free
and you're free to die
Die
You're old and your hands are gray
Your old go home and stay
We've all heard you dirty stories
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
of your God damn Glory.
Hijack
The summer was dry like your nose when you've been behind coke for a day and a
season
We sail out into the grasshopper nite and we seek the righteous poison
Sunday morning in speedway, you know the people come around for a reason
Sunday morning, Sunday morning.
The land is green and you make it grow, go to the forest and move
the sound of thundering electrical energy calls us to the park in the noon
C'mon anybody-now fill my pipe (to the park) to the forest and move.
When I feel you coming round me - ridin in the sun
Goin home move your mind toward Mars and then beyond
Genesis is not the answer to what we had before
I, we all together in you.
You know I remember the 23rd of November
to the abyss of Chicago you can see the barbed wire - pigs around a lot of
nothin.
The witch hunters wail and they bark and they wheeze and they try to turn us
onto their poison.
You know - a starship circlin in the sky - it ought to be ready by 1990
They'll be buildin it up in the air even since 1980
People with a clever plan can assume the role of the mighty
and 'Hijack the Starship'
Carry 7000 people past the sun
and our babes'll wander naked thru the cities of the universe
C'mon
Free minds, free bodies, free dope, free music
the day is on its way the day is ours.
You breathe out You breathe in
and the glow of the machine'll get you on
Moving slow, don't feel the changes
Gracefully growing - as wild as we can be.
Only the sun knows what we really need to know
only the sun holds the secret
and more than human can we be
cause human's truly locked
to this planetary circle.
You gotta ride said the Doktor of space
I have lived here once before
the lites in the nite are a village of stars
of stars that I have explored
beyond the idea of beyond the void
and beyond that and more
Parallel lines in this village of stars
Will lead you to the second door
and time won't wait for the Doktor of space from the city of the sun to come.
Where do you go from her
Chaos or community
Can't you see - on this and future sundays.
7000 Gypsies swirlin together
Offering to the sun in the name of the weather
Gonna Hijack - 'Hijack the Starship'.

Have You Seen the Stars Tonight ?
Have You Seen The Stars Tonight ?
Would you like to go up on 'A' Deck and look at them with me ?
Have You Seen The Stars Tonight ?
Would you like to go up for a stroll and keep me company ?
Do you know
We could go ?
We are free
anyplace you can think of
We could be
Have you seen the stars tonight ?
Have you looked at all the family of stars ?

What you gonna do when you feel your lady rollin'
How you gonna feel when you see your lady strollin'
on the deck of the starship
with her head hooked into Andromeda
C'mon Hijack
Gotta get back and ahead to the things that matter
Amerika hates her crazies
and you gotta let go you know.
Gotta let go you know
Gotta let go you know
Gotta let go you know or else you stay.
Spillin' out of the steel glass
Gravity gone from the cage
a million pounds gone from your heavy mass
all the years gone from your age.
Hydroponic gardens and forests
Glistening with lakes in the Jupiter starlite
Room for babies and Byzantine dancing astronauts of renown.
The magician and the pantechnicon
Take along the farmer and the physician
We gotta get out and down
Back into the future
Beyond our own time again
Reachin' for tomorrow
It's so fine Starshine.
The melting acid fever streakin' thru my mind
Makes it, ah, so difficult to see you
and, ah, so easy to touch you
I melt with you
Feel with you
Make Love for you
at you
around you
I love you.
Dear Brumus, the ship'll be ours and you got to roll with it
and tho' your master's head's blown off you got to go with it
Roll with the natural flow
like water off a spinning ball
Out - the one remaining way to go
Free - the only way to fall.
The light in the night is the sun
and it can carry you around the planetary ground
and the planetary whip of the sun
Will carry you well past Gideon
and the people you see will leave you be
more than the ones you've known before.
Hey - rollin' on
We come and go like a comet
We are wanderers
Are you anymore ?
The land is green and you make it grow
and you gotta let go you know
You gotta let go you know
You gotta let go you know
or else you stay.
Mankind gone from the cage
all the years gone from your age.
At first
I was irridescent.
Then
I became transparent
Finally
I was absent.
