lyrics

You backed me into an alley, said "come and catch fire."
When our lips hit the blood in my veins started a riot.
My mind went rattling cages. I couldn't keep quiet or hide it.
I want to meet all the boys that have loved you and ask what they did right.
Challenge all of the ones that have hurt you to a duel or a fistfight.
I want to win you over in old fashioned ways with sonnets and songs in perfect rhyme.
You haven't even left but it already hurts like hell.
It's like dying of thirst when I'm one step away from a well.
Where you end and I begin, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
You haven't even left but it already hurts like hell.
It already hurts like hell.
I want to meet you alone at sundown. I want to catch fire.
Peel the flesh from your bones and expose all your circuits and wires.
I want to know you like nobody can know you, from the inside out.
You haven't even left but it already hurts like hell.
It's like dying of thirst when I'm one step away from a well.
Where you end and I begin, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
You haven't even left but it already hurts like hell.
It already hurts like hell.
I won't hold you under lock and key. But if I beg you stay now would you stay with me?

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
