| Salty foam, your daddy’s most
|
| Classic pin-up of the California coast
|
| I couldn’t trust your heavy stare
|
| The poly-cotton, all circles and squares
|
| You didn’t drown in the water
|
| While the dollars fell like rain
|
| You looked in that blue mirror but
|
| You couldn’t put a toe in
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| I didn’t know you were part of me
|
| Straight part, ironed crease
|
| Looking out on an empty beach
|
| Cruel stage for a cage
|
| All the colours are pastel and peach
|
| 'Cause you didn’t drown in the water
|
| Or in the moron rhyme
|
| Or in the paint that’s flakin' off
|
| The Hollywood sign
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| I never knew you were part of me
|
| Holding me up, putting me down
|
| Holding you up, putting you down
|
| Holding me up, putting me down
|
| Holding you up, putting you down
|
| Pulling you up, putting you down
|
| Pulling you up
|
| Box of sand, walls of slime
|
| All your ivory in a never-ending line
|
| Signing your name, time went slow
|
| Thinkin' bout how your brother had to go
|
| You didn’t drown in the water
|
| And I know you wanted to
|
| Can you promise me you’ll talk to me
|
| When your name’s read in the news?
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| I didn’t know you were part of me
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| Is it you, ooh, Eugene?
|
| I never knew you were part of me
|
| Holding me up, putting me down
|
| Holding you up, putting you down
|
| Holding me up, putting me down
|
| Holding you up, putting you down
|
| Pulling you up
|
| Boot on my neck gives a tight squeeze
|
| What is hiding on the summer breeze?
|
| Shine of salty sweat, who will you be?
|
| Surf Safari or my Eugene?
|
| Boot on my neck gives a release
|
| What is hiding under the dream?
|
| Face on an old LP, who will you be?
|
| God Only Knows or my Eugene?
|
| Boot on my neck gives a tight squeeze
|
| What is hiding on the summer breeze?
|
| Shine of salty sweat, who will you be?
|
| Sailor Sloop John B or my Eugene? |
