After the Gold Rush

[Verse 1]

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming

Saying something about a queen

There were peasants singing and drummers drumming

The archer split the tree

A fanfare blowing to the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the nineteen seventies

[Verse 2]

I was lying in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for replacement

When the sun burst through 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

[Verse 3]

I dreamed I saw a silver space ship 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

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed

To a new home in the sun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed

To a new home
