And I knew it
The laces
And undoing
The laces
And it was just like a great duck wing
Within the wings of a stone.
And it was just like a great dark wing
Within the winds of a storm.
And it was just like a great prom queen
Within the wings of a stork.
And it was just like a great dark wing
Within the winds of a storm.
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what falls.
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for.
Dead Sara
He said, 'Sara!'
Down here in the sea of love
Drowning in the sea of love
Down there in the city of gold
Drownin' in the sea of love
Drowning in the seeds of love
Drowning in the sea of love
Drowning in the seeds of love
Drowning in the sea of love
Fire and head lice
Like fire and ice
For half a penis, it takes two
For happiness, it takes two
I stayed and I begged, 'cause I can.
Ask me and I'm there, because I care.
It's so good to go back in time.
It's no good to go back in time.
Like fire and dice
Like fire and ice
Molasses
I'm doing molasses.
The laces
Undoing the laces.
Never change and never f**k.
Never change and never stop.
Oooh, lazy, I'm doing the lazy
Oooooooo, the laces, undoing the laces
Said you'd give me lice
Said you'd give me light
Said you'd give me life,
but you never told me about papaya
Said you'd give me light,
but you never told me about the fire
Said you'd give me life
Said you'd give me light
Said you'd give me light,
But you never told me about Messiah
Said you'd give me light,
But you never told me about the fire
Said you'd give me light, but you never told me bout the piles
Said you'd give me light but you never told me bout the fire
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the pyre.
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire.
Sara! Sara!!
Sweet Little boogies in your eyes!
Sara! Sara!!
Storms are brewing in your eyes!
Song is complete with corny '80s harmonica. (Editor's note: The band was known simply as Starship when they recorded this song; they dropped 'Jefferson' from their name. Therefore it should be filed under plain Starship, not Jefferson Starship.)
Sara, Sara, Stones are glowing in your eyes
or
Sara, Sara, stones are ruins in your eyes
or
Sara, Sara, stars are ruining your eyes
or
Sara, Sara, Storms are growing in your eyes
or
Sara, Sara, Storms are growing in your eyes
Sara, Sara, storms are brewing in your eyes
Sara, Sara, stoned by the wind in your eyes
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara
Stone Tupperware in your eyes
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewing in your eyes.
Say you gave me life
But you never told me about the pyre.
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire.
Say you gave me life
But you never told me about the tire.
Said you'd give me ligh
But you never told me about the fire.
Songs are burning in your eyes.
Storms are brewing in your eyes.
Storms operating in your eyes
Sara, Sara, storms are brewing in your eyes
Then Sara
He said, 'Sara!'
We're fireflies the dream won't come true
We're fire and ice the dream won't come true
With fire and head lice.
We're fire and ice; the dream won't come true
With fire and ice, our dreams won't come true
We're fire and ice; the dream won't come true
With fire in eyes, the dream won't come true
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
