lyrics

They call me an illegal alien
But everybody looks just like me Chinga what are they talkin about When they say
That this country is free
I swam across the river
I heard gunfire on the border I am riding on a freight train I dont know where 1m goin
If you dont want me around Why dont you just say so Youre looking at me
Like I got bad peso I live in a chicken coop
I make two bucks a day Ask me what 1m talkin about
I got nothin to say cause
I swam across the river
I heard gunfire on the border I am riding on a freight train I dont know where 1m goin
If I am an illegal alien Heres what 1m gonna do
Find an American babe to marry me So I can stay in this country
Hey you hey you
ELECTRIC FOREST
A view so magnificent
It takes your breath away A balance so perfect
It cannot be disturbed And when 1m in the forest
The forest is more Electric Than a city can ever be
Cause the forest is life Miles and miles of life Yes the forest is life
Miles and miles of life The forest is life
And when 1m in the river
With a mountain on each side The mountains they tell me
That I can reach out and
hold up the sky
I can hold up the sky
In the river I hold Up the sky I can hold up the sky
In the river I hold up the sky I can hold up the sky
And when 1m in the city The world of neon And corners and cars I feel pressed down
I cant feel the sky
I cant hold the sky
In the city I cant hold the sky I cant hold the sky
In the cityI can hold up thesky in the river I hold up the sky

Coriky
by Coriky

supported by 4 fans who also own “Illegal Alien”

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
