Starship Ride Lyrics

"Starship Ride is very Bay Area psychedelic rock and roll, and it's fun; it's about romance, a date, the future -- a science fiction love song. It's a double entendre, a titillating song but it still has some Mom and Pop in there. It was a perfect vehicle for Jerry Garcia because it sounds so much like a Grateful > Dead song, and the Grateful Dead don't do those songs anymore. It's the kind of song I like to write -- a one-chord, one-rhythm, straight ahead rock and roll pop song with a little twist of the futuristic."

Oh, get your self together
Oh, leave your troubles behind
Oh, don't worry 'bout the weather
We'll be going on a starship ride.

Oh, the moon is callin'
Come pack your troubles away
Out where the stars are fallin'
We'll be cruisin' the milky way

Hey, tell your mama and your papa
Don't wait up tonight
We'll bring back a little piece of heaven
When we get back from our starship ride
