Song Description

Traditional Tex-Mex border ballad about a guy who falls in love with the wrong girl. The problem is: this is Roswell, and the girl is an alien.

Lyrics

The moon was on the rise, and I was on the run
Putting some distance between me and something I should have done
It was just midnight, and the stars were bright
And I was all alone
And the sign said, "Welcome, Boy, to Roswell, New Mexico.

First I thought it was a plane, but moving way too fast
'Til it filled the sky, and it hovered right over my head at last
I looked around...I had left the ground
I was standing in the glow
Of the most beautiful girl in Roswell, New Mexico.

She had a light bulb head, and I swear to God it was glowing
And right where you'd think her stomach would be
She had three long pincers growing.

She was easy ten-foot-six, and built just like a broom
And all of her eyes stared a hole in my soul as she flowed through that room
She started to sway, her skin of gray
Gave a neon beer-sign glow
And I danced and I danced with the belle of Roswell, New Mexico.

Now, she didn't have a mouth, and she didn't have an ear
But her cosmic music of celestial loving was all I could hear
From under her robe, she pulled a probe
And she worked me over slow
And that's when I fell in love in Roswell, New Mexico.

And now it's three A.M. I'm back and my truck won't start
The sky once again is as empty and cold as what's left of my heart
She's gone so far, beyond the stars
And I'm all alone
But last night, I fell in love with a beauty from up above
Last night, I fell in love in Roswell, New Mexico.
