lyrics

you claim that you're cured
how can you be sure?
perhaps we should take
a long hard look

so go and write the book
can't you ever stop?
you're vision's all obscured
with sunspots of changes and love

but don't forget what I said to you
just live your life, carry on

but when you wake up all alone
your stomach drops right to the floor
you better stop before it starts
never thought you'd play this part

it's beautiful torture, you've honed your craft quite well
you planted seeds on one day
then drew all the water from the well
you know I used to be Houdini but this mirror ain't see through
this worn-out bag of tricks I've got isn't workin' no magic on you

but I won't forget what you said to me
chill the fuck out, carry on

but when I wake up all alone
and kick my heart across the floor
I'm breakin' all of my own rules
to join the company of fools in love

if silence is golden then call me the tin man
your teasing love won't rust this jaw any faster than oil can
and patience is a virtue but baby please make it soon
this crazy train's long left the station, it's gunning for you

and I won't forget how you looked at me
and I can't help but think that life's a little short

whoa

but we will never walk alone, no
shed your fears and come on home
the world is ours let's take it on

and when the sun is smiling
and honey we are too
we'll look back and laugh
at the fool I was for you

Turtle Recall Washington, D.C.

DC pop folk rock: fiddle and playful vocal harmonies intertwine atop punk-inspired rhythms to give these Reston, Virginia natives an unpasteurized sonic profile. The group's 2012 debut LP, Thanks Anyway, features story songs steeped in nostalgia, dramatic and unapologetic tempo fluctuations, a hint of musical theatre, and even a foray into the most-likely-completely-misunderstood world of dubstep. ... more
