"Roswell" by Elle Cordova and Toni Lindgren

Toni Lindgren and I were stranded for 10 days in Roswell, NM when our van broke down there (it ended up being a computer module problem, and it's all fixed up now!), so needless to say, we had plenty of free time on our hands to explore the town a bit. That inspired this quirky little tune about the 1947 UFO incident. We didn't see any actual UFOs while we were there, but there was plenty of alien kitsch all over the town which I found delightful. Hope you enjoy "Roswell"! Lyrics below.

Roswell lyrics:

Back in '47
in the first week of July
there was lightning in the desert
and explosions in the sky

An unknown flying object
came crashing to the earth
and a cattleman named Brazel
found the wreckage in the dirt

He gathered up some scraps
and then he brought them into town
and the people gazed in wonder
at the marvel he had found

They called the county sheriff
and they called the air force base
they called the DOD
and then they called the CIA

There's big news today out in Roswell
that sleepy New Mexico town
and Major Marcel
what can you tell us about Roswell?

Well the Roswell Army Airfield
sent their finest personnel
a rank and file officer
was young Major Marcel

The major told his story
and it echoed round the globe
a flying saucer captured
out in old New Mexico

But the orders came from Washington
materials were changed
the town was hushed to silence
and Mac Brazel was detained

They scooped up all the evidence
and flew it to Fort Worth
staged a couple photos
and the headlines were reversed

There's nothing to see here in Roswell
just a torn up old weather balloon
and Major Marcel
was mistaken as well about Roswell

The years pass on in Roswell
but the story still persists
rumors turn to theories
and then theories turn to myth

But to his dying day
the major swore on all he had
"There's no way in hell the thing that fell
was made by human hands"

So the mystery lives on out in Roswell
that creepy New Mexico town
and Major Marcel
what couldn't you tell us about Roswell?
