Freedom At Point Zero

Jefferson Starship Freedom At Point Zero Lyrics
1.Fading Lady Night

I've had desert visions
When the moon is shining bright
The end of the rainbow promise
Almost in my sight
Sat with my back against cold stone
Waiting for the morning light
And all the things i've seen in dreams
Have kept me up all night

Always reaching to the sky
Soft hard stone
I'm sitting here and thinking
Bout all the centuries its known
Got a feeling someone's near
Listening to the east wind moan
You know there's no one here
But i just don't feel alone

Fading lady light
Always here with me
Singing your song in the wind at night
You know i've never felt so free
You're my reality
Don't you fade away from me

The wind it paints your face
As it stirs the shifting sand
Nightmare creatures closing in
They leave at your command
If only you were beside me now
Maybe i would understand
And i could leave my dreams for life
To live the dream we planned

(repeat chorus)


People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready like a lover
I got a note from the heart of the darkness
The melody isn't over
Steady as steel, i want to take the wheel
'n drive you like a rock n roller
Freedom at point zero
'n rock n roll isn't over

One long pull to the top of the mountain now
One long pull and we're into the sky
So many miles i can't count 'em now
Oooh, let me fly -- to the sky

People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready it's gonna be here soon
I feel a great wind sweepin through the valley
At the first light of the risin moon
Don't look back -- hold steady
Keep your eyes open we're almost ready
Like a samurai on the edge of the sky
Cold steel in the afternoon

And its a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and i
I'm goin upstream 'n hunt for a dream
It's right there for you and i
Up in the sky and it's gonna be
All-right

Great light in the sky tonight
Oooh honey it's burning bright
Come and take me away tonight
It's all-right
Oooh oooh oooh all-right

Under every stone -- on every beach
Through every forest and all the trees in all the air
For all time and all space
In every land and every place
In the seas and beyond the sky
Gonna be all-right

It's a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and i
I'm goin upstream 'n go for a dream
Right there for you and i
Up in the sky
Just got to reach out and take it
It'll be all-right
Take it -- it's gonna be all-right


3.Girl With The Hungry Eyes

I like to move at the speed of light
Albert says i can't -- but i can
Circle of stone, circle of steel
I want to ride in an iron wheel

I am a child of atomic war
You are the daughter of the overlord
Let's get together on the killin floor
Give me -- more, more, more, more, more

Violet lightning
Violet lightning

She's the girl with the hungry eyes
The girl with the hungry eyes
She holds up half the sky
The girl with the hungry eyes

I just met the girl with the perfect lips
I just met the girl with the perfect fit
Every atom in my body could inhale her
Speed of light girl, she is a sailor

Violet lightning
Violent lightning
Violet lightning

Now we're movin at the speed of light
Now we're movin at the speed of night
And your home gets filled with newer people, people, people
And all your friends are gone so hang on, hang on to the

Girl with the hungry eyes
She hold up half the sky -- she's the
Girl with the hungry eyes -- i love the
Girl with the hungry eyes


4.Jane

Jane you say it's all over for you and me
There's a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane you're playin a game
Called hard to get by its real name
Makin' believe that you still don't feel the same

Jane you're playin a game you never can win girl
You're stayin away just so i'll ask you where you've been baby
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know what i'm talkin about

Were all those nights we spent together (hey hey)
Only because you didn't know better
Oh jane you're playin a game, you're playin a game, playin a
game

Jane you're playin a game of hide and go seek
Jane you're playin for fun but i play for keeps (yes i do)
Oh jane that's a game on me
Oh jane that's so plain to see
Jane jane jane
(jane jane jane)...


5.Just The Same

There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are

One man was happy
One lived in sorrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
One man was wealthy
One had to borrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow

There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are
It's just the same

Moon's silver face
Dark shadows on the wall
Light playing games as evening falls
And when the sunshine
Can't warm your heart again
Soar with the starlight on the evening wind

There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are

There's a way
Even though your heart is broken
Now by the close
Of one door
Another opens

Leave your heat wide open

The door will open

There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't matter where you are
It's just the same
It's just the same
It's just the same
It's just the same


6.Lightning Rose

[note:the first 'verse' is, mysteriously, not sung on the
record.]

A song for a girl who lives for the future
After the fall -- before the beginning
We build the watchfire every night
We control the water flow
We control the power from fusion
Reactor #12
The walls of the city crumble
I would sing a song fifty feet long
Sweet breezes on pine beaches
The sound of fire
Let it shine let it shine let it shine

Shut down the city lights i want to be with my lady
Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
I been too long in the green fields of rapture
I been too long without bein on the run
Carry the fire from the heart of your lover
Carry the fire where the wild things run
There's a monster lurking deep in the forest
Let's go and get him when the mornin comes

Rose i need you
Rose can't go without your love
Rose i need you
I can't go without you
I won't go without your love

Oooh rose do you remember all the dances
Remember the miracles and all the crazy chances we took on
Love, love, love -- i want to go beyond
Love, love, love ------ let's go
Inside the walls of forbidden halls
Beyond everything i've ever hoped or sung
Carry the fire -- beyond all desire
Carry the fire -- brighter than the sun

Rose
Lightning rose
Rose
I won't leave without you
I can't go without your love

Love is a fire in the rose
She rocks me

Shut down the city lights i want to be with my baby
Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
Rose i need to feel you near me
Lightning rose i need you to be strong

Come together warm around the watchfire
Come together till the mornin sun
Open the floodgates and let loose the waters
Stand by the banks and watch the water run

Carry the fire to the heart of the darkness
Carry the fire each and every one
Carry the fire in your hands if you need to
Carry the fire the fire the fire

Let it shine let it shine

Look into the night sky
The walls fall before you


7.Rock Music

Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music

Mama said be a doctor son
But a voice said follow the music
Papa said be a lawyer boy
But a voice said follow the mu'
'cause you know you're not doin for the money
You're doin it just for the thrills
You don't do it for money, boy
So thank the lord rock keeps payin the bills

Rock n roll is good time music
(repeat twice)

You may think that life aint no laughing matter
And go right on a talkin all your intellectual chatter
Well all that jivin, it ain't true
So let's just push on through
Rock n roll to stay alive
Rock n roll will survive

Sneakin monica out after the prom
You know i didn't get her back, people
'till just before dawn
Outside we were creepin
Inside everyone was sleepin
Goodness gracious!
That's rock n roll!

Rock n roll is good time music
(repeat three times)


8.The Awkening

Thunder awoke me i sat up my feet on the floor
Silver the lightning that shattered the lock on my door
Feel like i've lived my life long
Just waiting for this day to dawn

Racing through time toward the light
We just do what we must
We're more than just ashes our spirits are more than just dust
Ancient we stood in the sun
Older when time first began

Now by the light shining through from within
We'll find our way back to the stars once again


9.Things To Come

Washin my brains in the public fountain
Buildin my brains in the shadow of the mountain of glass and
steel

Wrap me in your arms again
I'll make you warm again
We can touch the storm again
Tonight tonight tonight

Don't let it break you
Don't let it take you apart
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be your change of heart

Shatter the glass and all the walls between us
Strip your body naked flying dangerous

My love is waiting at the edge of the world
Here we go through the doors again
Here we go round the world

Don't let it scare you
Don't be afraid to start
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be the fire in your heart

Go straight up -- past all numbers -- all numbers
Past god, past mars, past light where there are no numbers

Wrap yourself in a cloak of fire and drive on through
Bathe in the waters of isis hathor
And the light it will amaze you

Just let it take you
Just let it take you away
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be the light of day

Don't let it shake you
Don't let it take you apart
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be your change of heart
