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
