Western Pier Lyrics - Clear Heart Full Eyes - Craig Finn

Someone saw something just east of here 

I came up 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 

At night I'd walk down on the beach 

One night I saw them watching me 

They rolled up. They put the cuffs on 

Then they drove me deep into the valley 

The just judge looked me over and said I'm sorry 

You don't have to keep running 

But you 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 love 

And then they drive you halfway to a breakdown 

The just judge looked over and 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 

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

I came up the Western pier
