Lyrics:

  • Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
  • In armor coming,
  • Saying something about a queen.
  • There were peasants singing and
  • Drummers drumming
  • And the archer split the tree.
  • There was a fanfare blowing
  • To the sun
  • That was floating on the breeze.
  • Look at Mother Nature on the run
  • In the nineteen seventies.
  • Look at Mother Nature on the run
  • In the nineteen seventies.

  • I was lying in a burned out basement
  • With the full moon in my eyes.
  • I was hoping for replacement
  • When the sun burst thru the sky.
  • There was a band playing in my head
  • And I felt like getting high.
  • I was thinking about what a
  • Friend had said
  • I was hoping it was a lie.
  • Thinking about what a
  • Friend had said
  • I was hoping it was a lie.

  • Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
  • Space ships flying
  • In the yellow haze of the sun,
  • There were children crying
  • And colors flying
  • All around the chosen ones.
  • All in a dream, all in a dream
  • The loading had begun.
  • They were flying Mother Nature's
  • Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
  • Flying Mother Nature's
  • Silver seed to a new home.
