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 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 eye I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst through the sky |
There was a band playing in my head And I felt like I could 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 spaceships flying In the yellow haze of the sun There was 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 |
