Roswell Seeds and Stems

Russell watched room twenty seven from across the courtyard

Linda Rolla was inside she was about to come down hard

He ran a hydroponic farm, not that everybody knew

Linda'd run out with the money

And his harvest, too

Well dah-dah-dah, and dah-dah-dee

In twenty seconds it was over

That's how Russ got the seeds

Thirty trucks from seventeen states

Move out staggered through the night

It's a tough job but temporary

And whoever blows the shit that Russ

Grows

Won't try to escape

And when they realize they're stranded here

They'll eat everything

That gets thrown on their plate

Linda'd opened the connection with Doctor Henry last year

When he explained about the seeds, she could tell he was sincere

He'd been toiling down in Roswell for the E.T.I.

Who came to renovate this prison back in 1945

Linda believed and so would receive

Twenty pounds of Roswell seeds for

Getting Doctor Henry out

But ha-ha-ho, and fee fie fo

Russell broke in on the party and the deal went south

Canned meat still costs more than electrolytes

The pilot blanked in mid flight

Goats are trying to eat the plants

I'm laying out on the rug again

Watching the satellite until there's no chance

Russell waited for two months after Linda Rolla died

When no one came to question him

He wasn't surprised

There was a strange sensation in him

That he'd recognized

Knowing if he stopped production he'd be reoccupied

What can I say? Sometimes it's better to pay

In the luxury of keeping this behind your eyes
