The Straight And The Narrow Lyrics - Let It Come Down - Spiritualized

The trouble with the straight and the narrow 

Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side 

And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine 

And if Jesus is the straight path that saves 

Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb 

On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my years 

You know that I got a little something I should say 

I guess that I'm just so easily led astray 

It's alright because I know my own way back home from here 

And I don't fall off the wagon you know 

I take a dive and go as deep as I can go 

Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow, this time 

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow 

Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side 

And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine 

You know that I got a little problem or two 

I guess that I keep on taking a few 

I've been told it's not the best thing that I can do, right now 

And I don't go looking for my sins you know 

They come out waiting and I just get on and go 

Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow this time 

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow 

Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side 

And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine 

And if Jesus is the straight path that saves 

Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb 

On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my years 

And the trouble with the straight and the narrow 

Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side 

And the devil makes, the devil makes, good use of these hands of mine
