Lyrics
Hey, what's happenin'?
Hey, what's shakin'? How's your lady?
Oh, she's fine, you know. Little hemorrhoidal
Problem and all of them, but you know how it goes
So what's happenin'?
Nothin' much, except, um, had a weird experience the other night
Is that right?
Yeah, you see, um, I was walkin' along, you know, mindin' my own
Yeah?
I looked off to my right and I saw this strange light
A light?
That's right. So anyway, what happened was it
Got me thinkin' about this poem I read once
A poem, huh?
Yeah, a poem. It was like, "Late last night, in
Search of light, I watched a ball of fi..."
You don't mind if I do this for you, do you, man?
Heh, heh, no, man, I was only puttin' you on. It's your record
You know what I mean? Carry on, do whatever you want
Well, alright
Late last night, in search of light
I watched a ball of fire streak across the midnight sky
I watched it glow, then grow, then shrink, then sink
Into the silhouette of morning as I watched it die
Then I said to myself, I said, "Hey
I got a lot in common with that light"
Well, that's right
You see, I'm alive with fire in my life
That streaks across my span of time
And is seen by those who lift their eyes in search of light
To help them through the long, dark night
Hey, you know, that's alright
Well, thanks, man, it's just a poem I learned a long time ago
It's still alright. But tell me something. What happened?
Well, you see, that wasn't the funny thing that happened to
Me. You see, the funny thing that happened to me was that
Well, it got me thinkin' about this man I met a few years
Back in this bar, sort of, and he, um, well, he told me
This sort of, uh, strange, um, you know, flying saucer story
Flying saucers, huh?
Yeah, you see, one night he was walkin' along, mindin' his own
Looked off to his right and he saw this strange light, too
A light, right?
Right. So anyway, he started off to
Investigate this light off to his right, right?
Right
Got about halfway across this field and realized what he
Was doing, you know? I mean, I mean, after all, there he
Was in the middle of a field in the middle of the night
Investigating this weird light off to his right, right?
Right. So what happened?
Well, to make a long story short, uh, you know, short of, uh, he split
You mean he split?
Yeah, you know, just, uh
Alright, so what happened with you?
Well, I got thinkin' about this guy and the story
You know, and the poem and everything, you know?
Yeah?
Well, so I split, too, you understand?
You split?
Yeah, split
Split?
Split, S-P-L-I-T
Shit. Well, I got to splittin' now myself, see. Listen, I hope your
Wife's little whatchamacallits'll get better real fast and all that
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, wait, wait a minute
Wait a minute for what, man? What do you think
You're doin'? You turnin' into Crusades or something?
That's the dumbest story I ever heard in my life
What? What you mean? Listen, I'm tellin' you the truth
That's nice, you know, but, uh, did you ever
Hear the one about the guy with the wooden eye?
Hey, now, don't do that to me, man
I mean, well, let me put it this way
Listen, shit, you know somethin'? You crazy. You know that?
Well, hey, don't you call me crazy, man. Let me
Ask you somethin'. What would you have done, man?
Well, to begin with, I wouldn't have told the story, you understand?
Well, that's easy for you to say, but it
Happened to me. You know what I mean?
Hey, listen, man, don't be some asshole. You tryin' to put my...
Hey, you callin' me an asshole?
No, no, I'm just sayin' you're an asshole, you understand?
Hey, you got... Alright, alright, alright, let's clean
Up this language. Let's clean it up, come on. Either
You clean up this language or you get outta this place
Hey, man, the man called me an asshole
Alright, that's enough of those words. Now either you talk
Clean or you get outta here. I'm still sayin', uh, it's
Not me. It's just that you are an asshole, you understand?
Hey, you know somethin'? You know what's gonna happen to you?
Now, listen, don't you raise a glass, you understand?
Hey, you know what I could do to you if I wanted to... Hey, you're
Gonna make me angry, man, here. I'm just tryin' to talk to you
You asked me, you said, "How ya doin'?" I said, "Okay." You asked
Me how my lady was, I told you. You said, "What's new?" I'm tellin'
You a story about what happened to me the other night. I was
Really walkin' along. I really looked off to my right. I really
Did see a light off in the middle of the night off to my right
I really did tell you everything, and that's right, you understand?
Alright, alright, alright, alright. I gotta go now
God damn, man. What are you doin' to me
Man? You're makin' me look like a fool
Well, uh, that's easy. All you have to do is look in your own mirror
Hey, man
Alright, watch your language
Hey, man, didn't you hear me singin' a while ago?
Uh, hey, let me ask you guys somethin'
. Uh, are you a group or anything?
Group?
Well, I heard you singin' before
I thought maybe it's a group, you know?
Hey, hey, why don't you just get... Hey, you serve
The drinks, you know. You wipe them glasses. Leave us
Alone. Hey, you know what? Let's go to some other bar
Well, alright
