lyrics

It was a silent night, and all was quiet
In 1980 it was Christmastime
Three officers saw some strange bright lights
And they chased it around the forest all night
 
Something went down
Something went down
Eight miles east of Ipswich town
Something went down
 
The very next night on the air force base
The shift commander saw something strange
She went into shock, had to take her away
They say she’s never gonna be the same
 
Something went down
Something went down
Eight miles east of Ipswich town
Something went down
 
Five bright lights in the winter sky
A glowing red orb with a winking eye
A laser beam shone at my feet
Something zipped across the radar screen
 
Something went down
Something went down
Left it’s footprints on the ground
Something went down
Something went down
Eight miles east of Ipswich town
Something went down
 
They said it could have been a meteorite
The lighthouse glow or a Soviet satellite
Inelegant lies, an elaborate hoax
I’m telling you now it aint’ no joke
 
Something went down
Something went down
Eight miles east of Ipswich town

Something went down
Something went down
Left it’s footprints on the ground
 
Something went down
Something went down
Something went down
