The Crop Circle Field
When Saint Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity, he tried his best to drive out the old Druid beliefs and supersititions. He was not entirely successful! This song has its roots in western Prince Edward Island. It's all about Irish Catholics defending themselves against an alien invasion. Mulder and Scully would have loved Deleva Handrahan and her best friend Marion Harper.


Lyrics
The Martians came down in the fall of the year
Thinking that nobody knew they were here
But I saw the circles they left on the ground
Black as a stove on the outside

Leo was sure we had nothing to fear
Somebody called up the Journal-Pioneer
And early next morning the reporter was here
Asking all kinds of questions

Chorus:

Marion, Marion
Come to the window
Up in the sky
Look at that purple glow
What can it be?
Will it cause any harm?
Back in the corner of Will Harper's farm

I turned to St. Joseph for holy protection
I used every trick in my druid religion
I took blessed water and sprinkled the kitchen
Hung a prayer card over the doorway

I plant a big garden and I keep a few cows
When the blueberries ripen I sell them in town
Most anything blossoms where I throw the seed
But nothing will grow in the crop circle field
