EUREKA

words and music by Ben Musser
written in Eureka, CA and Nosara, Costa Rica

lyrics

Have you ever been a victim of expectation
In a Humboldt county town?
Maybe I’m the first to put a bet on this place,
find that fool’s gold bring you down.

Oh, Eureka
Didn’t expect to have you treat me so bad
when I hardly even knew you,
heard about a bitch like you from my dad.

I left my friends out in Portland, the NE quad
Despite advice hindsight proved strong
To head for a date with coffee and chocolate
Down the coast to sing my songs

I stumbled down to the Golden State
50 degrees dropped and much more cold to come
Like her indifferent doorstep beatniks’ misty glares
Even green grass browns so quick to turn blue

in Eureka...(chorus)

All alone and unwelcome I took a breath of grass
To pass the time and hoped the chance would come
to tear off my clothes for 5 people while the lights burned hot
And leave my life on the side of the road…

For any passing stranger, friendly or deranged bird
Everything I worked for gone and to the pawn shops of Eureka

(chorus solo)

Now most times I’m one for intuition
I’m a 12th house water sign
But even good men need to feel a sting to stay humble
When they’ve been so dumb and blind

So don’t you ever be a victim of expectation
In this dark, damp, dirty town
Where the meth heads cost just a dime a dozen
And the fool’s gold brings you down…God damn, Eureka!

From the dank depths of the Brooklyn subways to the spiritually orgasmic heights of Jackson Hole WY, Ben Musser's indie roots project BENYARO carves a unique path w 1 rule: make great art. Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more
