After The Gold Rush

The Flaming Lips · A Collection Of Songs Representing... [1998]

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
