Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor come,
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
There was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run,
In the twentieth century
Look at Mother Nature on the run,
In the twentieth century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin' in my head,
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hopin' it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hopin' it was a lie
I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children cryin'
And colors flyin'
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home
