Lyrics:
(from Beck's live version)

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archers 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

I was lying in a burned-out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
...
And I felt like getting high
Well I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was thinking it was a lie
