Grant Lee Phillips - After The Goldrush Lyrics

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor 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
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

Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors 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
