Turning Point

Caught in the straight and narrow
The horizontal fix
Whiplashed and scratching
This phantom itch

While you keep
One eye on the counter
(Speeding limits)
And one on the load
(Precious cargo)
Making three-point-turns
(One-eighty degrees)
In the middle of the road
(On one way roads)

Turning point (you've got to turn it around)
Roundabout
Flashing lights (turn it around)
Warning signs
Backing up and opting out (you've got to turn it around)
First you're in and then you're out (turn it around)

Once you throw insults like this
The ugly kind that sticks
Trashing and turning
Until it finally hits

You'd rather be
Putting pedal to the metal
(Speeding tickets)
Taking shortcuts
(Cutting corners)
Just slipping and sliding
(Three-sixty degrees)
And generally losing it
(And going for the hit)

And then you're out

One-eighty degrees
Three-sixty degrees
Cutting corners
And going for the hit

Turn turn turn around
Turn turn turn around
Turn turn turn around
Turn turn turn around

Once upon a time
In a state like this
Changing your mind
Like flicking a switch
Every time
You make remarks like this
These charming asides
Have a hidden twist
