“Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence,” by Blue Oyster Cult.
Song I was infatuated with, oh, about 30 years ago,
way, way back when I was just figgering out how to play that there electric
guitar, and, coincidentally, seven years before the X-Files …
I
hear the music, daylight disc
Three
men in black said, “Don’t report this”
“Ascension,”
and that’s all they said
Sickness
now, the hour’s dread
All
praise
He’s
found the awful truth
Balthazar
He’s
found the saucer news
Wait!
There’s more!
I’m
in fairy rings and tower beds
“Don’t
report this,” three men said
Books
by the blameless and by the dead
King
in yellow, queen in red
All
praise
He’s
found the awful truth
Balthazar
He’s
found the saucer news
Dead
leaves always give up motion
I
no longer feel emotion
Where
prophecy fails, the falling notion
“Don’t
report this, agents of fortune”
All
praise
He’s
found the awful truth
Balthazar
He’s
found the saucer news
