After the Goldrush

After the Goldrush

Original by Neil Young

The Argument: Opening of Act III bar the Narration and “Fly Like an Eagle” riff.

(Lights come up on Gloria Jr sitting at a piano with various Denebian Slime Devils in Hippie attire scattered around listening.)

Gloria Jr: Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And 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 world of La’Boheme.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the world of La’Boheme.

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.
