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

           D                    A                         G                A

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.

D                     A                 C             G

Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies.

 

I was lying in a burned out basement with a 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 getting high.

I was thinking about what a friend had said -- I was hoping it was a lie.

Thinking about what friend had said -- I was hoping it was a lie.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

 

Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying in the yellow haze of the sun.

There were children crying and colours flying all around the chosen one.

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...
