lyrics

A flying formation came around the mountain
so much faster than I'm able to fly
No, it wasn't a hallucination
and what good would it do me, would it do me to lie?
You see, I've got my reputation
I've spent hundreds of hours in the blue-and-white sky
Now I've made this report about my observation
so please, feel free to examine my eyes

A flying formation came around the mountain
not like the rockets I've been reading about
A flock of birds? Well, I do not think so
Weather balloons, hey, you've figured it out
Across the states, a cluster of sightings
One of them was quite a close-up view
Mac Brazel discovered the wreckage
Roswell's not a legend, it's true

They kept Brazel sequestered in Muroc
until he agreed to keep it under his hat
Though he saw some colored hieroglyphic columns
nearby the Feds got something better than that
With the rest of the disc, they found some dead bodies
and picked up all the pieces with a fine tooth comb
In '47, spaceships came out of nowhere
sunlight splashing off of their domes
light hard metal, balsa wood chrome
Thru the years, remaining unknown

In '47, I made the headlines
My good fortune hit me like a brick
Back then I was a damned good pilot
but now they call me Lunatic Arnold

They hid the truth to keep us from panic
as Eisenhauer slipped away for a while
Shades of Mt. Rainier and Kenneth Arnold
A Sign of a Grudge, but they kept it on file
Well Dr. Condon, he knew just what the trick was
If you read that memo, then you know what I mean
All the MJ 12 were now too dead for an answer
but what they saw were not human beings

Aztec was another wild story
Skully missed a couple little details
so his book was made out to be totally fiction
helped the military to cover the trail
Dr Gee was not a Leo in the long run
The debunker won the battle anyhow
and another crash across the Mexican border
didn't see the light of day until now

Is it something he saw in a comic book
or did it happen like he said?
Did Kenneth Arnold only see those saucers flying in his head?

Father Time is a legend - Phil Frazier

If anyone combines the spirit of Evel Knievel with Dylan, Johnny Rotten and Neil Young, it's Scott. If anyone is close to being the Internet Dylan, FT is the one.- Flametop Fred ... more
