Starship is an American rock band. Initially a continuation of Jefferson Starship, it underwent a change in musical direction, the subsequent loss of personnel, and a lawsuit settlement that led to a name change.

In early 1992, Thomas revived Starship as "Mickey Thomas' Starship" before changing the name to Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, which has toured steadily ever since. Although Thomas has been supplemented by a mostly new cast of performers, bassist Brett Bloomfield did return to the fold for several years. Melisa Kary and Christina Marie Saxton, who had both performed with the group as backing singers on tour in 1989 through 1990, also had stints as full band members in Starship featuring Mickey Thomas. Darrell Verdusco, formerly of KBC Band, has served as drummer since 1995. Keyboard player Phil Bennett also joined in 1995. The band recorded the álbum Live at Stanley Cup in 1997. Jeff Adams came aboard on bass in 2000.

In 2003, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas released a DVD documentary Starship: Greatest & Latest. The album accompanying this release contained re-recordings by Starship featuring Mickey Thomas of some of the Starship's biggest hits, songs originally from the period of Thomas's tenure in Jefferson Starship, as well as "Fooled Around and Fell in Love", which Thomas sang with the Elvin Bishop Group in 1976. Female vocalist Stephanie Calvert joined the band in 2006. A live album, Layin' it on the Line Live in Las Vegas was released in 2007. Starship featuring Mickey Thomas released the non-album single "Get Out Again" in 2007.

A new Starship album, Loveless Fascination, produced by Jeff Pilson of Foreigner, was released on September 17, 2013. The band performed at the Streamy Awards on September 8, 2014. The non-album single "My Woman" was released in 2016. On February 1, 2019, Rhino Entertainment acquired the rights to the Starship catalog for all the albums released between 1985 and 1991.

Former Starship trumpet player Max Haskett, who performed with the band from their reformation in 1992 until the following year, died in 1999 as a result of pancreatic cancer. Lead guitarist Erik Torjesen, who performed with the band between 1996 and 2000, died of cancer, aged 34, in 2001. Torjesen's replacement, Mark Abrahamian, died from a heart attack, aged 46, following a concert on September 2, 2012. Abrahamian was replaced as guitarist by John Roth.

Go now

Don't look back

We've drawn the line

Move on

It's no good to go back in time

I'll never find another girl like you

For happy endings

It takes two

We're fire and ice

A dream won't come true

Sara, Sara

Storms are brewing in your eyes

Sara, Sara

No time is a good time for goodbyes

Danger

In the game when the stakes are high

Branded

My heart was branded

While my senses stood by

I'll never find another girl like you

For happy endings

It takes two

We're fire and ice

A dream won't come true

Sara, Sara

Storms are brewing in your eyes

Sara, Sara

No time is a good time for goodbyes

Sara, Sara

Storms are brewing in your eyes

Sara, Sara

No time is a good time for goodbyes

('Cause Sara)

Loved me, like no one ever loved me before

(And Sara)

Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more

(And Sara)

Sara

(And Sara)

Nobody loved me anymore

I'll never find another girl like you, no

We're fire and ice

A dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, Sara

No time is a good time, no

Sara, Sara

Storms are brewing in your eyes

Sara, Sara

No time is a good time for goodbyes

Ooh, Sara, Sara, Sara

Storms are brewing in your eyes

Sara, Sara

No time is a good time, no

Sara, Sara

Why did it?

Why did it?

(Sara, Sara)

Why did it all fall apart?

(Sara, Sara)

(Sara, Sara)

(Sara, Sara).
