Jefferson Starship - Connection Lyrics
Unused lyrics at beginning of lyric sheet:Warm.....round the hunting fireWrapped in the robes of the dead warriorProtected from ferocious windsUnder the shield of the dead gladiatorStanding in the darkness of this stagecraftAll is black I cannot see your faces I needLight I want to see your eyesLet my voice wash over your facesConnectionConnectionWhoaa ohhhA hundred thousand years agoPeople livin in bone white citiesComin and goin on streets of silverTalkin future historyThen something very strong went wrongAnd suddenlyPeople gathered round the hunting fires(huddled in caves like animal, not human)Round the warmth of the late night fireCities gone, memories fadingSpend their lives round the late night fireGive their souls to the hunting fireSeeking each others companyTryin to remember ancient historyThey lost connectionThey lost contactThey need to touch youReach out across the ages and touch youMeanwhile somewhere in the 20th centuryA young girl named phoebe caulfieldPlops herself down on the sofaPops open a soda and watches youShe likes to watch murderer talkShe likes to see them on my tvShe likes to watch them how they walkShe likes to hear what they sayIts like a car crashBloody fascinationYou wonder how they get their shoes tiedSit and stare at the horror thereShe knows you watch them tooStranglers, murderers, snipers, terroristsPolitical assassins, crazy ones, cool onesAll them looking forConnectionThey lost contactThey lost directionThey need sexual, mysticalMagical, uninterrupted, peter gabriel likeContactHere I amAgain insideThis darknessAll is blackI cannot see your futureGive me lightI want to see your eyesJust a little lightInside your futureA small connectionConnectionAh!!!!Id like to see jesus and mohammadOn the road to damascusWhat did you think they would sayWould they fight with knives clenched in their teethLike jews and arabs todayOr would they walk and speakLike philosophers and thinkersAmused at each others insightsRelishing the brain waves thereRound the warmth of the hunting fireEager for, hungry forThey got to haveYou know they loveConnectionContactCommunionAnd let our two great religionsCease their senseless struggleIt only hurts the childrenConnectionConnection
