| An Incident At Exeter - While Dylan Grew Whiskers - Lyrics Jef White |
Home |
he's just as hard as nails.
I would not say the devils' deeds
could turn his face so pale.
But he came in here trembling
'bout some cosmic orb of light
that left him flattened on the road
to Kensington that night.
I said it was in Kensington that night.
He said "I need a boy in blue,
with an inkpad and a gun."
So Bertrand got behind the wheel of cruiser 21.
Norman says "It was no chopper"
as the cop pulled in to park.
Then they stepped onto that sloping field
in the cool September dark.
I said it was a cool September dark.
Now there's been an incident at
Exeter
so send the colonel down.
Yes, there's been an incident at
Exeter
not ten feet from the ground!
I said it was not ten feet from the ground.
"Hell! There's nothing here but starlight!" Bertrand mumbled to himself as his flashlight beam drew circles on the gray split-rail corral.
and the hounds began to whine
and a starship from some other
world floated up above the pines.
I said it floated up above the pines.
Now there's been an incident at
Exeter
so send the colonel down.
Yes, there's been an incident at
Exeter
not ten feet from the ground!
I said it was not ten feet from the ground.
Swamp gas, flares and sun-dogs
or perhaps St. Elmo's fire.
All those tin stars must be lunatics
and the county folk all liars.
Sure, the air force had the answers
but it did not have the truth.
They said God might be your witness friend
but the Pentagon needs proof.
That's right, they said the Pentagon needs proof.
Now there's been an incident at
Exeter
so send the colonel down.
Yes, there's been an incident at
Exeter
ot ten feet from the ground!
I said it was not ten feet from the ground.
