Fire Fall
The Residents

I'm just an old man, how could I understand
I'm just an old man, how could I understand
I remember danger when the strangers came -- they knew my name
They seemed to know my neighbors so I gave them safety in my home

Then there was a pounding sound, and screaming voices all around
I offered them my daughters then a light came from the strangers' skin
They said we had to go away, my wife was worried they... they... they...

I'm just an old man, how could I understand
Fire fell from the sky!
Tears fell from my eyes!
She turned to stone like a bone,
or maybe salt had hardened on her
I was lonely for my wife
It only happened once or twice
I'm just an old man who just can't stand his memories
