Midnight Legends: Gutterball's Motorcycle Boy Chronicles
Lyrics
Down in Abeline on a midnight cruise
Describing a nighttime journey in Abeline.
Three dead, four wounded, saw the story on the news
Report of a violent incident with casualties, heard in the news.
Motorcycle boy, motorcycle boy, motorcycle boy
Repetition emphasizing the presence of the "Motorcycle Boy."
Lay your legend down
Encouraging the Motorcycle Boy to establish his legacy.
Three creeps in Dallas
Reference to three suspicious individuals in Dallas.
Three fish-eyed stares
Describing their unsettling gaze.
Three dozen roses and three last prayers
Symbolic mention of roses and prayers, possibly related to a tragedy.
Motorcycle boy
Reiteration of addressing the Motorcycle Boy.
Lay your legend down
Encouragement for the Motorcycle Boy to leave a lasting legacy.
Subway Sammy, he got out of line
Introducing "Subway Sammy" and his transgression.
Swan dive, no survivors
Outcome of Subway Sammy's action—fatal and spectacular.
Out of sight, out of mind
Emphasizing the consequences: "Out of sight, out of mind."
Motorcycle boy
Returning to the Motorcycle Boy and his significance.
Lay your legend down
Reiteration of encouraging the Motorcycle Boy to leave a legacy.
Over in Virginia, no reason, no rhyme
Shifting to Virginia, introducing a girl named Virginia.
The girl was named Virginia,
No apparent reason or explanation for the events.
That was good enough this time
Suggesting the girl's name is sufficient information for the narrative.
Motorcycle boy
Returning to the Motorcycle Boy and his importance.
Lay your legend down
Reiteration of encouraging the Motorcycle Boy to leave a legacy.
Maybe it was Oxnard where the surfers play
Speculating on a location, possibly Oxnard, where surfers spend their time.
They got nothing better to do
Describing the idle nature of surfers.
With themselves all day
Implies a lack of purpose or meaningful activity.
Motorcycle boy
Returning to the Motorcycle Boy and his significance.
Lay your legend down
Reiteration of encouraging the Motorcycle Boy to leave a legacy.
