OriginalL'introduzione "misteriosa" (in che versione รจ cantata o recitata?)....
WOODEN SHIPS

- If you smile at me
I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language

- I can see by your coat, my friend
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I've got to know
Can you tell me please, who won

- Say, can I have some of your purple berries
- Yes, I've 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 let us be
Talk'n 'bout very free, and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go
WOODEN SHIPS

(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
