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?
