TESS’ PLEA
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


I don’t know why everyone hates me
I’m just an alien with a destiny

It’s been foretold that I belong with Max
I’m sorry but those are just the facts

I’m not really mean
There’s a lot more to me that you’ve seen




THINKING ABOUT ROSWELL
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


Another restless night for me
Thinking about this show’s destiny

Will they continue with Michael and Maria
Or will I need a numbing case of sangria?

Will they go all sci-fi
And possibly make us want to go bye-bye?

Will they cut out the ‘liabilities’
Or continue to explore all their possibilities?

Will Michael really let Maria go
And concentrate on battling an evil foe?

All these questions swimming in my head
It’s no wonder I can’t get to bed.




KYLE’S DILEMMA 
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


What the hell happened to me?
I really didn't see

One minute there was a gaping hole where I was shot
The next minute you had reduced it to a dot

What did my father mean when he said
All those things over my head?

"I don't care who you are or what you are..."
Oh, my God, does that mean you're an alien from afar?

Well, that certainly explains a lot
Especially how you healed the wound I got

Don't worry, I won't tell
People will probably just put me in a cell

But now that I know
Do you think I'll get more air time on the show?




ROSWELL’S GLOBAL FAMILY
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


One show started it all
Last year during early fall

Roswell brought together
Birds of the same feather

Mothers and fathers
Sisters and brothers

Hippies and boomers
Teens and Gen Xers

Americans and Canadians
New Zealanders and Australians

Brits and Filipinos
Singaporeans and Latinos

The show spawned a global family
Who converged on Crashdown quite happily

Roswell transcended gender, age and nationalities
Blending together all personalities

Clanners and dreamers
Jokesters and shippers

Sci-fiers and theorists
Poets and novelists

Executives and homemakers
Restauranteurs and bakers

Lawyers and doctors
Students and professors

Agents and VP's
Veterans and newbies

From all walks of life, they came
Saying "Despite our differences,
We're all the same!"




SUPPOSED TO BE  (Liz)
Archive Date:  6/29/2001


I was supposed to be the one, his only one. 
I wasn't supposed to be his only one because the other had left.

I was supposed to feel happy that he was here with me.
I wasn't supposed to feel betrayed that a part of him would never be mine.

I was supposed to bask in the feel of his arms around me again.
I wasn't supposed to feel relieved that his arms weren't holding her.

I was supposed to hear bright fervor in his voice and have the words heal the chasm in my heart.
I wasn't supposed to hear the empty conviction and have that shatter me into a million pieces again.

I was supposed to hear "I love you" again.
I wasn't supposed to hear "I have to save my son."

I was supposed to get the handsome, virtuous prince.
I wasn't supposed to be saddled the teenage alien father who would be king. 

I was supposed to get the fairy tale.
I wasn't supposed to have the nightmare.

I was supposed to live.
I wasn't supposed to live this way.
