Lexie wrote this song after we witnessed an unexplainable phenomenon over the skies of Atwater Village, California in November 2015. "Aliens!" we thought, or we hoped... Later we were bummed to discover it was a missile test by the US military. But we got our first single out of that phantasmagorical moment.

lyrics

The pilot kept his hands steady on the wheel
too high to turn around even in the light
the people quiet in their houses on the ground
not looking up, not looking up

We were walking by,
we were walking by
we saw the sky
Falling Down...

Staring at the sky I thought it was a firework
just a stupid trick planned by the government
now I believe
my boyfriend tells me aliens are real

we were walking by
we were walking by
we saw the sky
Falling down...
