After the Gold Rush
Neil Young
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were 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 lyin' in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eye
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt getting high
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie
Thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie
Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children cryin' and colors flyin'
All around the chosen one
All in a dream
All in a dream
The loading had begun
Flyin' Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flyin' Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home
