Folksy ballad about the UFO cover up written and sung by my Australian friend Louise D’Arcy
Follow her excellent lyrics….
A long time ago in New Mexico
A plane crashed down
Little did they know
The papers said a Saucer crashed
But the Airforce came and pulled the pin on that
On late night drive
Back in '61
The Hills saw lights
And Barney grabbed his gun
A strange ordeal started to unfold
With some missing time
And Betty's belly probe
CHORUS
It's been a long black night
A trial, a test
But what is buzzing round us
We can only guess
The time has come to lay the lies to rest
We deserve the truth
But haven't got it yet
We had Hynek, Keogh and Friedman too
Who fought tooth and nail pushing for that truth
But the CIA was busy seeding lies
Got those tin foil hats and their alibis
And the decades passed
Never getting far
Till a Punk Rocker put down his guitar
He left the stage
And headed 'To The Stars'
And as history goes
Now here we are
CHORUS
It's been a long black night
A trial, a test
But what is buzzing round us
We can only guess
The time has come to lay the lies to rest
We deserve the truth
But haven't got it yet
From the Roswell crash to the Pheonix Lights
Even schoolyard sightings in broad day light
But the truth stays hushed, the world stays blind
And those UFO's unidentified
But the cracks are there that you can be sure
Hear the whistleblowers all coming forward
There's a 'Need To Know'
Now a lines been drawn
We can't stand the secrets anymore
CHORUS
It's been a long black night
A trial, a test
But what's buzzing round us
We can only guess
The time has come to lay the lies to rest
We deserve the truth
But haven't got it yet
It's been a long black night
Through all the shadows and the lies
Ain't it time we get things right now"
