Craig Finn - Western Pier lyrics

rate me

Someone saw something just east of here

I came up on the western pier

There's one thing you should know about

Christ is watching me right now

Someone saw something and they shot it down

I spent seven months in another town

That night I walked down on the beach

That night I saw them watching me

They rolled up

They put the cuffs on

Then they drove me

Deep in to the valley

The just judge

He Looked me over

He said "I'm sorry

You don't have to keep running

But you'd best be leaving"

You can't take away all the parts of you

That make you do the things you do

The girls that live inside my heart

Keep coming up the boulevard

They roll up

They pledge their loving

Then they drive you

Halfway to a breakdown

The just judge

He looked me over

He said "I'm sorry

Love's been such a letdown

Let's proceed with the shakedown"

Jesus is a judge

And he's kind

And he's just

Forgives us for our avarice and lust

And I don't even know what's east of here

I came up on the western pier
