Title:After the goldrush


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 twenty-first century.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twenty-first century.

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 I cut cry.
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.

I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships fly
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.

Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.
