Straight & Narrow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were on the straight and narrow
You were going round the bend
and looking for a friend
Well you took off optimistic
but you landed on your head
and now you're walking dead
[Chorus]
What did you find
In the maze of your mind
Did it feel like the end of the road
Cigarettes they burnt your fingers
you were weak and you were sore
but still you had to score
When they found you in the basement
you were face down on the floor
and you could take no more
[Chorus]
What did you find
in the maze of your mind
did it feel like the end of the road
Didn't need a second warning
When you saw the others die
you couldn't even cry
