Lyrics for After The Gold Rush
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 There was a fanfare blowing to the sun That was floating on the breeze Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s 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 Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century
