lyrics

The printers were going crazy that night,
the satellite dishes were on it like a pack of dogs.
Don't know what it was in that starless night sky,
just what it was that they saw.

The men in suits, they came real quick
they must have come from somewhere nearby.
They took the equipment, right down to the phones.
I was handcuffed and then punched in the jaw.

Don't know what government agency
that they represented
but what they did that night,
it was against the law!

They said it was a routine military test,
but tell that to the family out on Highway 2.
What exactly was a military blacktop crew
doing out there on a state road in the middle of the night?

Those files have been sealed,
wrapped up, in black tape, buried in an office
five
stories
underground.
