Fingers crossed I swear it
Never gonna bare it
I double dare ya
Holler if ya hear it
You don't have to like me
I know you love me
It's all easy peasy
High stakes at lightening speed
All the sun and moon rises
And all the ocean dives
Out of all the wonders
Only time survives
Your pretty eyes
Get me every time
Even though we're okay
We'll never be the same
Your eyes destroy me
It's hard to look away
I double dog dare you
It'll be okay
Fingers crossed swear it
Never gonna share it
Fill our cups and bottoms up
We'll never be the same

I've been relocating spiders
Sneaking up on drive-byers
Calling out all liars
Working on my handwriting
Been tightening my trigger
Researching famous singers
Taking Spanish for beginners
Counting backwards from a million
But I ain't got very far
For I'm a liar myself
And that pile of stuff
Just sits there and rots
The littlest of dreams
And I don't mean to be mean
But I can have them
And I don't want them anymore
I just feel gone
Like a big hollow drum
A bass drum
A sore thumb
But the creek is calling me
By my first name it seems
I can hardly be ashamed
Some mistakes were born to be made
A little ring on the phone
And a little missed call
And a voicemail
And I'll never respond
For I'm a thinker, not a doer
And I'll reorganize my thoughts
Until pay day, or dooms day
Or until I drop
But I'll never stop

Walk slow
Slower now
Tuck your heart in
Man, it's showing still
Breathe in
Breathe out
The wild wind
Ain’t gonna take it
Make it dim
Make it bright
After all
We still alive
I'm taking notes
Got my heart out
Please tell me are we there yet
For I'm a real girl
Not behaving myself
Bending with the reeds I guess
I've been on fire
I'm a spitfire
Waiting for the cue to put it out
Throw the bells and whistles out
Still be the same
No sense thinking it through again
Some one should stop me
But if not just watch me
I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be someone someday
I hit on all the sixes
I burned the blue flame
Doubled down and did it
All again
I was pie-eyed, polluted
Over the bay
Over the ocean
Rolling in the hay
I sent you an envelope of smoke from the east cost
Surely (shorty) missing you the most
I don't want to be a ghost
Forever writing a letter
Of good better best
With my heels clicked
And a smile on
With my hands up
I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever coming down
Walk slow
Slow your heart
Reel it in
Don't go skipping
Breathe in
Breathe out
The wild wind

You should have married Jess Tenny
All you redheads are the same
Would have had a son and daughter by now
But all your chips are cashed in
The night you drove the tractor
All them nights at the pool
On the way back from the store
He was like a snake and you were too
You were only a rook
I was just a pawn
She is the queen
Wide open
She's out in the water
You're standing in the puddle
She doesn't give a fuck
If you call her
She's out of breath
You're out of step
Wasted too much time
And now you're mine...

Shadow em, shadow em
Till you get passed them
Raccoon, raccoon
How ya gonna get there
Paddle out, paddle out
Till there ain't no horizon
Grabbing em, grabbing em
Faster than they fall yeah
Faster and faster still
If you do not, I guess I will
Faster and faster still
Faster and faster, faster and faster
Passing up, passing out
So on and so forth
Trashing em, trashing em
What did they ever do for us
Traveling, traveling
Leaping lizards, dagnabit
Cannonball, cannonball
C'mon and crash now
Laugh it out, laugh it up
Look who is laughing now
Laugh it out, laugh it up
Laughing and laughing....

Summer didn't go so bad now
Shame I didn't get you in bed more
But if that's how you want it
I guess I get it
I still can't see
And I can't fucking sleep
Just pull on this thread
Till there ain't no seam
Hating on you is poison
But after all this is a dry run
Lost in thought but still get caught
Better to be with than have none
Jokers don't know where to crawl to
After I get in their drawers so
Make a list if all you need
And get out of dodge with godspeed
I'm lightening, Im thunder
I get right fucking under
Your skin, your pillow
You got no where to run to
You Lens Louised me
Gave me The Silent Treatment
So what's it gonna be
Is it Cash or Check baby
We got all fucked up
Couldn't stand that Indian Hop
It's survival of the fittest
I'm not sorry little silverfish
Cause regret is punish
I'm gonna win goddammit
Grief is torture
But guilt is so much worse
And you'll be sorry you ever landed
On my little planet
Signals jammed, this was not my plan
But I can still fake it
Cause I'm Neptune, I'm Terra
I'm gonna win, I swear it
And you'll be sorry you ever landed
On my little planet

The roots gone wild
We can't keep them
The prayers go unanswered
God ain’t listening
You could have fooled me
I was pulling on your sleeve
Diamonds vs Spades
You got me
In the shade
In the shadows
In the streets
Forever at your feet
Squeeze me, please me
You are something else
Hold me, control me
I know you will
Wise guy, I'm fly
You should help yourself
I'm not so bad
Not so difficult
Dance with me
Sing with me
Let me sit in
I'll be waiting

Word on the street is
You don't like me anymore
Word on the street is
I am beat, beat down
But not for long
No, not for long
Bad girl I was is gone
Long gone
Word is you can't
Look me in the eye no more
What the hell
Are you really sure
You know I didn't mean it
So whatever
Looking at the carpet
Just trying to keep it
In my mouth, in my belly
Where it hurts, where it's heavy
Not really sorry it all got weird
Gave you my word
that's where it hurts
Let's drink to something
Let's make it happen
Girls and boys
We are only human
I want you're blessing
You deserve me that
You have my heart
You should know who I am
You've had the breaks on
Enough time has passed
Just when you think you're safe
C'mon get serious
Get serious...
Let's get serious

That's right it's not over
Chickens in the clover
Don't you have have a cow man
For I am a country mouse now yeah
And I'm gonna get on bike
And I'm gonna ride like the wind
I'm gonna huff and I'll puff
And I will blow your house in
The story of us
Never was told
I was working on my smile
And You were working on your shrug
Let us not be afraid
No more waiting on the signal
Let be brave
Cause we are daredevils
I'm gonna be great
I will be grand
I'm gonna stand at the top
I got the whole world in my hand
Not gonna dial H, For heartache
Gonna let the gray, come on in
Wave goodbye, to yesterday
And be the best, I've ever been
Get used to it, day by day
There will always be an H,
In my name

Like a swirl and a blur
Did I ruin it for all of us
I'm not a writer
I'm not a spokesman
From NY to Akron
From Austin to Denton
Couldn't keep my mouth shut
Oh I fucked it all up
I had a melt down
Then you met Catherine
We hit the unplug
Ah I fucked it all up
Out from the dust
There came a monster
Out from the ashes
There came a fireball
Spinning fast and bright
Rolling and rolling
Turned out the lights to see it
Aren't you glad it's over?
No more wires and beats
The eyes meet
Between the sheets
No one knows a thing
Under the cover
Rain comes in slow
Washed out everyone
And you still did not show
Everyone says
Lot a folks say
Bring it on bright
And then hit play
Aint no boogie in between
Aint no fooling me (go on, let me be)
You just like a slingshot
Going out, so hot
Go on leave me be
Go on you are free
You go to Oregon
go on to NY
You go be an engineer,
Don't come back, till you are
You go on to Columbia
You go be a great big deal
You go be the best you are
Don't you ever come back here
You go on to Ohio
Go on to Philadelphia
You gonna be a rock star
Don't back till you are
You go where the sky is big
Settle in the mountains
You go be a great big deal
Don't you ever come back here
Don't you ever come back here

If you like Out Like Lambs, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Fingers Crossed”
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!!
