Ballad of Eugene
Eugene
Never played guitar without his coke or speed
Never flew so high off that trampoline
When he lost it one night gambling
Eugene
Never got control of all those blues and greens
Never saw the light he saw in all of his dreams
And the truth he wore like a badge of vestige
Eugene
Gone by the wayside of that turning machine
Neglected by the watchful eye of his kings and queens
He dug the hole and he raked the seed
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Well now Eugene running, running on down the line
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running like the speed of light
Out of sight
Eugene
Never was so clear when you came knocking for me
Scratching at the door a quarter past three
Running from the demons you always did see
Eugene
I remember all those years ago you were so clean
I never heard the whispers of your apologies
You walked the town and you felt so free
Eugene
You'll always be the man I knew you used to be
I catch a glimpse of the window of your parked RV
And the shadow of a crown atop Mr. Eugene
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running like the speed of light
Out of sight
Eugene runnin
Runnin on down
Eugene, runnin on down the line
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running on down the line
Never played guitar without his coke or speed
Never flew so high off that trampoline
When he lost it one night gambling
Eugene
Never got control of all those blues and greens
Never saw the light he saw in all of his dreams
And the truth he wore like a badge of vestige
Eugene
Gone by the wayside of that turning machine
Neglected by the watchful eye of his kings and queens
He dug the hole and he raked the seed
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Well now Eugene running, running on down the line
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running like the speed of light
Out of sight
Eugene
Never was so clear when you came knocking for me
Scratching at the door a quarter past three
Running from the demons you always did see
Eugene
I remember all those years ago you were so clean
I never heard the whispers of your apologies
You walked the town and you felt so free
Eugene
You'll always be the man I knew you used to be
I catch a glimpse of the window of your parked RV
And the shadow of a crown atop Mr. Eugene
Eugene burning, burning all through the night
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running like the speed of light
Out of sight
Eugene runnin
Runnin on down
Eugene, runnin on down the line
Eugene rolling, he's rolling all his loaded dice
Eugene running, running on down the line
