Hey Eugene, do you remember me? I'm the chick you danced with two times to the Rufus album Friday night at that party.
On Avenue A?
And your skinhead friend passed out for several hours on the bathroom floor, and you told me you weren't that drunk, and that I was your favorite salsa dancer you had ever come across in New York City?
Eugene? Eugene? Eugene? I said hello, Eugene. Are you there, Eugene?
Hey Eugene. Then we kissed, once we lugged your friend into the elevator and went to write my number on a soggy paper towel,
and the car went down,
and when we were finished making out, we noticed that your skinhead friend was gone.
Long gone.
And you looked into my bloodshot eyes and said "Is it too soon if I call you Sunday?"
Eugene? Eugene? Eugene? I said hello, Eugene. Are you there, Eugene?
I said hello, Eugene. Eugene? Eugene? Eugene.
I said hello, Eugene.
Are you there, Eugene?
Tell me are you there? I said hello, Eugene.
Eugene. Eugene.
I said hello, Eugene.
...Does any of this ring a bell, Eugene?
