lyrics

TURTLE RACE
Written by Working Breed
Lyrics by Erika June Christina Laing

Painting a black canvas red
Black and blue pictures of you in my head.
Haunting my thoughts, the words I've been fed
The earth is still warm where you left

She can have your hollow bones
Your gift horse throat
Your swindled hope
She can have your brick of gold
Your country club
I've had enough

Biting my lip on the telephone
Every day of my life is a dial tone
Swallowing blithe sustains my life until I see the light
I hope I don't miss it, I hope its bright

She can have your cheap parade
Your palisade
Your turtle race
She can have your turpentine
Your sterling shine
But your sorrow, your sorrow is mine
Its all you left behind

If you love somebody, your're fucked
If you love somebody, your're fucked
If you love somebody, your're fucked
If you love somebody, your're fucked
You're fucked, you're fucked,
You're fucked, you're fucked, you’re fucked, you’re fucked
You’re fucked, you’re fucked, Fucked

She can have your charm and grace
Your smiling eyes
Your soft embrace
She can have your entire being
As you can see clearly you meant nothing to me

about

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
