Eureka

Tell the beautiful story

The one about the bright lights

You know he can still hear you baby

Out across the humble bay tonight

Yeah you knew at the moment

As you walked the Great Wall of China

They could never keep their claws in you

And you left them all behind

On the day that he died

Yeah everybody held you and cried

But you knew deep inside

You were never going back to Eureka

Your mom and dad are up there

On the hill above 101

Yeah we say that we'll bring them flowers

But we never get it done

And the crew's still drinking down at the Driftwood Inn

White wine and bourbon hollers

They're still begging you to come back in

But you turn away, ignore the whistles and the callers

On the day that he died

Yeah everybody held you and cried

But you knew deep inside

You were never going back to Eureka

Your daddy made his choice

To keep the beautiful boy

Through the whispers and the cure

You still reminded him of her

But they took you to the best side of the tracks

The best side of the tracks

And they held you close, they held you tight

And they were never gonna give you back

On the day that he died

Yeah everybody held you and cried

But you knew deep inside

You were never going back to Eureka

On the day that he died

Yeah everybody held you and cried

But you knew deep inside

You were never going back to Eureka
