Collections
We could run in a cave
and maybe find us a jewel
we could dig up some bones
a certain sign of renewal
We could jump for an hour
on this trampoline
we could follow the sun
just to see what it means
Collections strewn across a bedroom floor
corrections to some things I may have said before
get up and press your face to mine
get up and wake up your precious
wake up your precious mind
we could find a big room
and yell in the space
we could beat on the walls
and see the look on their face
Collections strewn across a bedroom floor
corrections to some things I may have said before
get up and press your face to mine
get up and wake up your precious
wake up your precious mind

Impending Machines
I don't like the machines when they come at night
everything is agash and it's such a fright
there's robot beasts in the hallway
they're gonna climb in our room
they're gonna take us away
if you don't do what I say
you should go and I'll stay
I think it's better that way
hey hey
There's only one more escape but it's a hat trick
you've got to turn all the locks to the second click
and go down the stairs you'll see a trap door
and when you stand next to that they're gonna fall through the floor
and then it's gonna be war
so run like before
and yell from your core
la la la la la la la la!
run run run!
I'm putting my hands onto my swimming head
I'm throwing the sheets off of a sweaty bed
I rise to the window on my two feet
but the impending machines they're only sweeping the street
I could hear them in sleep
no need to beat a retreat
in this summertime heat
now I'm back with you again
now I'm back with you again

Christmas Store
This won't mean much to you, what I'm gonna say
I'm on a whole new level, this holiday
I can tell that you're educated, and quite tasteful
so you just might appreciate
a well set table
I own a Christmas Store
and if I'm lucky I'll own a few more
a few more
I set out the merchandise
and those ladies
they told me it's nice
it's so nice
There's something wonderful
about gold and meerschaum
just another pretty thing
that we can wish on
and the folds in your velveteen
I as going to mention
the way you put those on
gives me a slight extension
I own a Christmas Store
and if I'm lucky I'll own a few more
a few more
I've got the best damn garland that you've ever seen
and stars they twinkle and gleam
they do gleam

Old Joy
Falling into a fountain
of old joy
swimmin' in the chemistry
I can feel the pulses of this life
they're clickin' away in me
though I sometimes feel seasick
I still walk
crooked for the world to see
with my arms down next to me
I still carry on
carry on sufficiently
Sufficiently!
running out of academy
my days soon to be
boring beyond words
I want to run the fields and streams
and have flying dreams
but I'm not sleeping well
can you provide a distraction
some white noise
a buzzing in my mind
it's not the best of solutions
but it works for me
works for me every time
and I'm waiting for something
that changes the feel of this room
something always seems to come along but too soon
come along
come along
too soon
I'm blocking every light source to this day
this melting orange spree
'til all that remains is a sliver of grey
on a dusk of winter trees
I'm holding on to a piece of joy that I've had
since I was a boy
I've been waiting to celebrate
but you can't celebrate
celebrate with old joy
and I'm waiting for something
that changes the feel of this room
something always seems to come along but too soon
come along
come along
come along

Innocence of Man
They're waiting for us up in the hills
scheming silently with their ills
with groping lights and whispered veins
a minion keeping track of their gains
they're gonna beat our brains
they'll do it once and again and again
an iron stain
We'll secret the children into the wood
turn down their eyes and put up their hoods
gather up all that we can stand
burn it and bury it in the sand
we're gonna do what we can
but we will not lose the innocence of man
innocence of man
of man

Faltering Light
I lit a match that lit up the room
I held it as long as I could
faltering light help me tonight
for I am afraid and I cannot see
I made some things
that made someone's day
they're all in the attic
and deep in the ground
a partner in crime
is so hard to find
the heist is never, ever the same
I lit a match that lit up the room
I held it as long as I could

Button Inside of My Soul
Last night I found a button inside of my soul
it was red and it was blinking slow
I touched it but I didn't press
what on earth could it redress in me?
I woke up this morning with no kids in the house
took me a minute just to figure it out
they were with Adeline
so I could have a time
nothing happened so I went on out to the lake
thought about some things I was trying to make
out of something old left out in the cold
it's a drop dead gorgeous day emerging like this
gonna chase some small town bliss
drink it in
drink it in like oxygen
drink it in
Last night I found a button inside of my soul
it was red and it was blinking slow
Touched it but I didn't press
what on earth could it redress in me?

The groove on Badala is an absolute monster. If this doesn't move you, you might as well check yourself into the ER to make sure you aren't dead because the groove is DEEP and HARD.

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!!
