Cain and Abel - The Residents

Blood drowns the ground

Blood drowns the ground

Yes, blood drowns the ground, 'cause

You didn’t need me

The wind blew his hair as I looked up to see

The shadows of birds as they flew over me

Standing in silence, I watched how the blood

Turned into a puddle of crimson and mud

Like the dirt by the river my brother was cold

But the sunset was scarlet and purple and gold

I needed you

I needed you

Yes, I needed you, but

You didn’t need me

Now I must wander away

Now I must wander away

Now I must wander far away

But when he looked up at me

And cried

I wasn’t thinking, not thinking that soon

I will be alone
