 Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming, 

               D                       G

saying something about a queen.

                   D                           A                                    

There were peasants singing and drummers drumming 

                G                      A

and the archer split the tree.

                     Bm                   C                               

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun 

                  G                   C

that was floating on the breeze.

  D                                A                          C                   G

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…
