Jefferson Starship - Rose Goes to Yale lyrics
[Jefferson Starship - Rose Goes to Yale lyrics]
And there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight
In the heart of the glowing city she stood
Pen in hand
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout order
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout Yale
There is no more Yale (yaaaaaa)
There is no more order (yaaaaaay)
I was out on the river
And in the darkness before me
In the light of the domed city
I saw Rose Lightning Rose she wasn't perfect
But she was semi-perfect
And she remembered all about her days in Yale
Before they turned it into a sheet
Of radio-active glass thirty miles across
And I always used to want to
Think if we could sing loudly enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing hopefully enough
Then all of this madness would disappear
And if we could sing long enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing true enough
It might carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask about nuclear
Go and find Rose and ask her "What now?"
She'll tell you 'bout future
She'll tell you 'bout how to
Live beyond the pale
When the time comesseize it
When the dream startsbelieve in it
When the light shinesoh, bathe in it
And now we'll have to be strong enough
Have to work long enough and if we believe
True enough
Then much of this madness'll disappear
I'll be the one she said
I'll be the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Lalalalala
What if the world was turned around
What if nuclear plants worked
What if nuclear bombs didn't
What if they held nuclear disarmament
Talks in Antarctica instead of Switzerland
(In igloos, not fancy hotels) They'd be
Over and done
In six hours, and be on their way home
Imagine, the light
And imagined that Rose was here tonight
And there in her eyes was a reason to live
A reason to fight a reason to die
It scared meit elevated me
I would do things for her
That I wouldn't do for my mother my country
My lover tis of thee
I sing sweet girl of liberty
Sweet bird of freedom
In the heart of the glowing city she stood
Pen in hand
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout order
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout Yale
There is no more Yale (yaaaaaa)
There is no more order (yaaaaaay)
I was out on the river
And in the darkness before me
In the light of the domed city
I saw Rose Lightning Rose she wasn't perfect
But she was semi-perfect
And she remembered all about her days in Yale
Before they turned it into a sheet
Of radio-active glass thirty miles across
And I always used to want to
Think if we could sing loudly enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing hopefully enough
Then all of this madness would disappear
And if we could sing long enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing true enough
It might carry us through next year
