The description of The Dying Oilman on The Residents' website:
“By bringing in gusher after gusher in the barren land of West Texas, the dying man had prospered, bleeding oil from the soil of the earth. His dazzling growth from poverty to wealth was envied by many, but now that change somehow seeme...
I could be good, maybe I'm crazy
I could be good, maybe I'm mad
I could be good, don't get in my way

(Coughing) Ugh...
I never thought it be like this. (coughing) I just- I just figured it'd be a brand new El Dorado every year from now on. Aw, who is this guy in the mirror? He looks so weak and pasty...
I always wanted to take little Sam to see that Sphinx statue over there in Egypt
I still don't like the idea of that guy over in Denver firefloodin' on my field. Asshole's so dumb he wouldn't know a pisspot from a kumquat. (coughing) Ugh... God, he could cost me a thousand barrels a day out of that field
Always wanted to see all that stuff they got over there in Europe, and take little Sam and Earline both
Oh, God, I need a smoke. (coughing) Don't seem like one little smoke would matter that much now... I gotta go back for more of them treatments tomorrow
Green. The whole goddamn place is green. But... but it ain't grass green, or money green, It's puke green, or pus green. And it's- it's the kind of green I feel like when I'm there, like a bug about to be squished
I just- I just know Earline would love to see that Eiffel Tower over there in France. I think maybe she even has a poster about it in her room...
