Well, I dreamed I saw the knights 
-8 -8  7   7   7
In ar-mor com-ing, 
7    -8  -8    8   8  8-8 7   7 
Say-ing some-thing a-bout a queen. 
7      -8   8     8   -9   8   8
There were peas-ants sing-ing and 
8     -8   -8   -8
Drum-mers drum-ming 
-8   -8  8   7    7    8   -8
And the arch-er split the tree. 
9     -10 9  8    8   8    8
There was a fan-fare blow-ing 
-8  7   -8
To the sun 
7     -8   8    7  7   7    -8
That was float-ing on the breeze. 
8    8    8   8  -9  8  8   -8  -8
Look at Moth-er Nat-ure on the run 
-8  -8   8   7    7  -6  7
In the nine-teen sev-en-ties. 
8    8    8   8  -9  8  8   -8  -8
Look at Moth-er Nat-ure on the run 
-8  -8   8   7    7  -6  7
In the nine-teen sev-en-ties. 

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.
