lyrics

Jingle for the Marfa Lights

No one writes jingles for us
And most people doubt that we’re real
When your very existence makes people laugh
Now how do you think that makes you feel?

In your oversized visitor’s center
We can see you as you watch us from afar
And we’ll still do our best to twinkle so beautifully
Even though you say we’re just the headlights of a car

And we’ll keep shining through
Degrade us if you must
‘Cause we’ll believe in you
Even if you don’t believe in us.

[Voice over: The Marfa Lights. Have a little faith.]
