Lyrics

[ti:Turning Lane]
[ar:The Republic Of Wolves]
[al:]
[00:13.08] You thought you could free the slaves
[00:15.05] By filling out the proper paperwork
[00:19.34] Till you turned out all your pockets
[00:22.22] And realized they never were
[00:25.33] You pulled your kids out of the public school
[00:28.38] And resigned to your reverence
[00:31.23] And you set a torch to the old duck pond
[00:34.48] Where your heartache took up residence
[00:37.77] You were all dressed up
[00:40.71] But you didn't know what
[00:43.64] All the commotion inside you was for
[00:50.16] What did we expect after all that shame
[00:56.18] Some familiar stretch of crippling faith
[01:02.17] What did we expect after all that fear
[01:07.97] Some inheritance to make the past run clear
[01:22.15] Whoa
[01:39.77] Thought we could concentrate
[01:41.50] Just hard enough to let those feelings in
[01:45.83] We were both stuck in the turning lane
[01:48.82] But that's where we've always been
[01:51.95] I guess we took our love in one big dose
[01:55.04] And retired to the peasantry
[01:57.86] Saying: paradise exists
[02:00.59] But it is locked away inside our memories
[02:04.35] You couldn't sit still
[02:07.23] Not while you knew well
[02:10.11] That all the commotion was held in your name
[02:16.75] What did we expect after all that shame
[02:22.65] Some familiar stretch of crippling faith
[02:28.67] What did we expect after all that fear
[02:34.56] Some inheritance to make the past run clear
