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
