After The Gold Rush

Wayne's Notes from A Collection Of Songs Representing An Enthusiasm For Recording...By Amateurs: The Flaming Lips 1984-1990:

Recorded while doing "Telepathic Surgery" for "The Bridge," a Neil Young compilation, done by No.6... Back then, 1988, putting out tribute records in which weird, obscure artists covered normal, popular artists was a new idea...

Wayne's quote from Staring At Sound:

"That Neil Young track really showed us the new vocal style that I was going to pursue, and that even if I wasn't a very good singer, I could still do something melodically."

Flaming Lips Version
Lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst in 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
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home
