GASLIGHTER
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
Feels like the tower is crumbling down
Finally, I see what you’re all about
There’s no more confusion
I put my finger on
Your insides are all rotten
-
Hear all the words you say
Take you seriously
I have put my trust in you
To have my best interest in mind
Believe your dance and song
I know – I feel – Something’s wrong
Echoes are all around
They are all your voice
But you are not there
I claw through the air
But it’s just the dust of faulty promises
Hold it in now
Don’t break down
Do not take the bait x4
I am torn
Limb from limb
Till I break
I see the writing on the wall
And the red flags. I’m appalled
That I indulged it all, put myself at fault
For so many shenanigans, believed again
Words without action.
Don’t ask me to run back into fantasy
I will say no

DEEP END
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
1, 2, 3, 4 Who is even keeping score
5, 6, 7, 8 Don’t need tackle or the bait
Cuz you are me and I am she and she is he and he is we and
We are
Going off the deep end
9, 10, 11, 12 Let the past be on the shelf
Let go, boogie down,
we are
Going off the deep end
With our friends
Our minds bend
13, 14, 15, 16 Future is misty twist
Twirl the swirl, be a boy, be a girl
Be a pearl
Going off the deep end
With our friends
Let our minds bend
Till the end
The end
The end
The end

NEXT QUICK FIX
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
If you don’t clean the clams
The soup will have sand
I keep scrubbing
Rubbing raw my hands
Hard to be in love
When it’s clear for you
Intimacy is cheap
When you’re 6 beers deep
When you let the weeds grow
You toxify the soil
It is ego
That coats you slick with oil
Hard to be in love
When it’s clear that you
Just want to run around
Looking for the next quick fix
From someone who doesn’t know your tricks
While whipping me with words
In private where it sticks
Well I quit
I quit
I quit

BALLERINA
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
I’m a ballerina in a music box
I will dance when you open me
Always one foot on the ground
Even when I am spinning around
Mirror’s my only company
I stare into it longingly
I dream of how I can be free
I need you more than you need me
I just watch all your jewelry
Still I need you to turn my key
Or I’ll run out of energy
I dream a little dream
A life more than it seems
I’ll undo all the locks
And step outside this box
Then I can jump and leap
And land on both my feet
I won’t need you and finally
I can be free

WABEOH
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
Don’t be too sad
We lived a beautiful life
Don’t be mad
We both know it was a matter of time
Two hearts
Out of time
Making art
Singing in rhyme
Not gone
Just apart
We don’t have to talk to know
We’ll always be each other’s heart
Can’t change how water flows
It pushes through where it wants to go
When we’re the best we can be
We emerge shimmering from the waters of our own seas
Two hearts
Out of time
Making art
Singing in rhyme
We tried
To fight it
But still we became so divided
If we flow
Let our hearts sing
We will emerge shimmering
Not gone
Just apart
We don’t have to talk

STOP
LYRICS BY JANE’S ADDICTION
MUSIC BY JANE’S ADDICTION
Here we go! No
No way No one
Gonna
Stop Now go!
Save the complaints
For a party conversation
The world is loaded
It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
No one
No one
No way
Gonna
Stop Now go!
Farm people
Book wavers, soul savers
Love teachers
Just lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
No one (Will control no one but move on)
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had done
Hurrah
And the water will run
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had done
Hurrah
And the water will run
Will run
Will run, oh-oh Get! Go!
Gimmie that Gimmie that, your automobile
Turn off that smokestack And that goddamn radio
Hum along with me Along with t.v
Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh No, no
No one's Gonna He wants my Orange Fluff!

BREAK FREE
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
You were a seed
Grown up to a flower
Final hour – Let your petals fall
Feel like you’re in a well
In the depths of hell
That’s just the edges of a shell
So…
Go on break free
Let go and sing
It’s what the world
It’s what the world needs
It’s not a race
Or fall from grace
When you break free
Then you – you will see
That is the only way to…
Beware of shade
That you or others make
Find a parade that makes your bones shake
Let go – run and get it
Turn around and shed it
There will be many transformations
So…
Go on break free
Let go and sing
It’s what the world
It’s what the world needs
It’s not a race
Or fall from grace
When you break free
Then you – you will see
That is the only way to…
<instrumental>
Go on break free
Let go and sing
It’s what the world
It’s what the world needs
Go on break free
Let go and sing
It’s what the world
It’s what the world needs
Go on break free
Let go and sing
It’s what the world
It’s what the world needs
It’s not a race
Or fall from grace
When you break free
Then you – you will see
That is the only way to…

CROW’S NEST
LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
I am up on deck
Lookin at the crow’s nest
I want to be there
That’s where
The world slows down
The horizon has no bounds
Feelings fly away
I’ve been there before
The swaying made me dizzy
But up far from the choppy sea
I feel
The world slows down
The horizon has no bounds
Feelings fly away like crows
But you know the crow finds land
Solid Ground
So I
Set the sails and climb the mast
A gust of wind blows past
Our hearts are made of glass
So let’s no go too fast Too fast
The world slows down
The horizon has no bounds
Feelings fly away like crows
But you know the crow finds land
The crow finds land
Follow the crow

LYRICS BY ERIKA JUNE CHRISTINA LAING
MUSIC BY WORKING BREED
Goodbye to me, Goodbye to you
Love is all around you
Goodbye to you, Goodbye to me
We are all where we need to be
I am more than the body I live in
One day I will join the wind
Goodbye to you, Goodbye to me
We are all where we need to be
Goodbye, Goodbye
Love is all around you, you, you
Love is all around you

Working Breed Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh’s art-rock four-piece Working Breed returns with Gaslighter, a more rock-forward face for the veteran group known for its expansive musical vocabulary and energetic, theatrical live show. Cathartic, singalong anthems, shapeshifting math-rock rhythms, haunting saw sounds and self-professed “angry trombone,” Gaslighter is as much a treat for the ears as it is a statement of intent. ... more
