Текст песни 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 daughter's den
A light came from a stranger's skin
They said we had to go away
My wife would worry
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 stone
Who may be sold and hung on a rope
Though they fought my wife
It only happened once or twice

I'm just an old man
I just can't stand these memories
