The Observer
The Residents

I'm a tired old man in a tired old landnWatching shadows moving across the sand;nNow they move at night and I understandnThat they cannot see more than they can stand.nI have been decieved, I have murdered andnI have seen the soul of an unborn lamb;nIt can burn a hole in a guilty man,nBut it cannot stand in a distant land.
