Lyrics

Eureka
Words and Music by Amber Snider Copyright 2010, Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP

In the midst of change I rearranged the items I held in my purse
We found a reason we could say, well, it could be much worse
And the truth is that we're getting older and least likely to meltdown
The engine may have blew a gasket but our feet are still on solid ground

We came here to refresh our spirits, we heard these trees pump out good air
We slept in a cabin with pristine showers and the rest, well, I just don't care
It doesn't matter who's fault it was. No one ever wins that game
The point is that we're keeping cool and the result will remain the same

Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There's no way around it, we're keeping our heads held high

We walk down the street past all the shops and I play the plastic flute I bought
It doesn't matter that I can't play. "It makes me look sane" is what you say.
Looks like we're stuck and we're kinda far - at least we can play guitar
And we have the food we bought last night, it's good right down to the last bite.

Looks like we're stuck and we're kind stuck and we're kinda far
But at least we can play guitar
And we have the food we bought last night it's good right down to the last bite

Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There's no way around it, we're keeping our heads held high

The hotel room smells like cigarettes and these cockroaches don't make good pets
There are all kinds of stains on the floor and they forgot to put locks on our door
We light incense so that we can breath I think it's time for us to leave
There's gotta be a reason we landed here it's something that we must believe

Eureka we found it, all fingers point straight to the sky
There's no way around it, we're keeping our heads held high
