Jefferson Airplane - Eskimo Blue Day

ESKIMO BLUE DAY
 
(Music by Grace Slick, Lyrics by Paul Kantner & Grace Slick)

SNOW CUTS LOOSE FROM THE FROZEN
UNTIL IT JOINS WITH THE AFRICAN SEA
IN MOVING IT CHANGES ITS COLD AND ITS NAME
THE REASON I COME AND GO IS THE SAME

ANIMAL GAME FOR ME
YOU CALL IT RAIN
BUT THE HUMAN NAME
DOESN'T MEAN SHIT TO A TREE

IF YOU DON'T MIND HEAT IN YOUR RIVER
FORKED TONGUE TALKING FROM ME
SWIM LIKE AN EEL FANTASTIC SNAKE
TAKE MY LOVE WHEN IT'S FREE

ELECTRIC FEEL WITH ME
YOU CALL IT LOUD
BUT THE HUMAN CROWD
DOESN'T MEAN SHIT TO A TREE

CHANGE THE STRINGS AND NOTES SLIDE
CHANGE THE BRIDGE AND STRING SHIFT DOWN
SHIFT THE NOTES AND BRIDGE SINGS

FIRE EATING PEOPLE
RISING TOYS OF THE SUN
ENERGY DIES WITHOUT BODY WARM
ICICLES RUIN YOUR GUN

WATER MY ROOTS THE NATURAL THING
NATURAL SPRING TO THE SEA
SULPHUR SPRINGS MAKE MY BODY FLOAT
LIKE A SHIP MADE OF LOGS FROM A TREE

REDWOODS TALK TO ME
SAY IT PLAINLY
THE HUMAN NAME
DOESN'T MEAN SHIT TO A TREE

SNOW CALLED WATER GOING VIOLENT
DAMN THE END OF THE STREAM
TOO MUCH COLD IN ONE PLACE BREAKS
THAT'S WHY YOU MIGHT KNOW WHAT I MEAN

CONSIDER HOW SMALL YOU ARE
COMPARED TO YOUR SCREAM
THE HUMAN DREAM
DOESN'T MEAN SHIT TO A TREE
