The Crooked Line Lyrics - Secret, Profane And Sugarcane - Elvis Costello

Life isn't a game 

Won or tied, lost by either side 

Then some people's idea 

Of the straight and narrow 

Didn't appeal to me 

If you were my life's companion 

As it seems you may turn out to be 

I'm contemplating 

How I hope I'll find you waiting 

At the very end of this crooked line

Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness 

Through light into darkness 

While some people remark 

The worthwhile fire never started 

Without that spark 

If you were my life's companion 

As it seems you may turn out to be 

I'm contemplating 

How I hope I'll find you waiting 

At the very end of this crooked line

If you were my life's companion 

As it seems you may turn out to be 

I'm contemplating 

How I hope I'll find you waiting 

At the very end of this crooked line 

At the very end of this crooked line 

At the very end of this crooked line
