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
