Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming, sayin' something about a queen.

There where peasants singin' and drummers drummin' and the archer split the tree.

There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun that was floating on the breeze.

Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

I was lyin' 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 getting high.
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie

Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin' 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
