The Lyrics
They always showed up in dark Fords
Gran Torinos with agents at the side doors
Crew cropped hair, horn-rimmed glasses, so much more
Never smiled, seldom talked, those dark suits that they wore
[Could not ignore]
Kids would flock to our block
Console phone was quite a shock
Handy Talkies at their ears as they paced-walked
Dad inside packing, watching the clock...
Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc
Sentry waved off the local cops
Dad used a hanky for forehead mops
No phone calls, no pit stops
Gone for days, weeks, months
Momma just soldiered on...
I was a kid, wanted to know
All the places he would go
All the weapons to take stock by row
Secrets that no one else should know
Wright was in Ohio
Los Alamos in New Mexico
Edwards in Cali, desert rocket shows
Groom Lake off-limits, need to know
Odd stocks, odd stocks, odd stocks
Classified ATS with each P.O. Box
Anachronism post VE-Day shocks
Things that made scientists' jaws drop
Gone for days, weeks, months
Momma just soldiered on...
Rad tags, plastic gloves, data sheets
Gray crystal armor that resisted heat
Field amplifiers with ungodly beats
Work that never seemed to cease
[Reverse engineering of Nazi beasts]
Airforce guys with M16s
Science guys with strange machines
My dad examining everything
What exactly were these things???
Gone for days, weeks, months
Momma just soldiered on...
ATS, ATS, ATS
Public couldn't know- that was best
Spin offs of shadow budgets
Protected by the Men in Black
CIA? FBI?
No, MAJIK- those CINDER guys
Caused a kid like me to cry
To speculate with eyes so wide
Dad did his work in silent stride
Of Vulkan's Forge was terrified...
Nazi tech was vilified
[… even in the '70s]
Right to know was denied
Dad died knowing in '75
Momma just soldiered on...
The Men in Black
Sharp as tacks
Drove him there and back
Disappeared, just like that...
[They creeped me out, but I miss those guys]
