Lyrics

(UPS) EARTH JULY 1975
 Black sails knifing through the pitchblende night
 Away from the radioactive landmass madness
 From the silver-suited people searching out
 Uncontaminated food and shelter on the shores
 No glowing metal on our ship of wood only
 Free happy crazy people naked in the universe
 WE SPEAK EARTH TALK
 GO RIDE THE MUSIC
 If you smile at me you know I will understand
 Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
 In the same language
 I can see by your coke my friend that you're from the other side
 There's just one thing I got to know
 Can you tell me please who won
 You must try some of my purple berries
 I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
 Haven't got sick once
 Probably keep us both alive
 Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
 Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
 Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
 Very free and easy
 Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
 Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
 Take a sister by her hand
 Lead her far from this barren land
 Horror grips us as we watch you die
 All we can do is echo your anguished cry and
 Stare as all you human feelings die
 We are leaving
 You don't need us
 Go and take a sister by her hand
 Lead her far from this foreign land
 Somewhere where we might laugh again
 We are leaving
 You don't need us
 Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
 Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
 Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
 Very free
 And gone
 NO C'MON
 GO RIDE THE MUSIC
 C'MON RIDE IT CHILD
