After The Gold Rush

well, i dreamed i saw the knights

well, i dreamed i saw the knights in armor come

sayin' something about a queen

there were children singin' and drummers drumming

the archer split the tree

there was a fanfare blowin' to the sun

that floated on the breeze

look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

look at mother nature on the run in two thousand and three...



i was lying in a burned out basement

with a full moon in my eyes

i was hopin' for a replacement

when the sun burst through the sky

there was a band playing in my head

and i felt like getting high

thinkin' about what a friend had said,

i was hopin' it was a lie

thinkin' about what a friend had said,

i was hopin' it was a lie



well, i dreamed i saw the silver spaceships 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

flyin' mother nature's silver seed

to a new home in the sun

flyin' mother nature's silver seed

to a new home...



well, i dreamed i saw the knights in armor come

sayin' something about a queen

there were children singin' and drummers drumming

the archer split the tree

there was a fanfare blowin' to the sun

that floated on the breeze

look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

look at mother nature on the run in two thousand and three...
