Western Eyes Lyrics - Portishead - Portishead

Forgotten throes at another's lie 

The heart of love is their only light 

Faithless greeds consolidating 

Holding down sweet charity 

With western eyes 

And serpent's breath 

We lay our own 

Conscience to rest 

But I'm aching 

At the view 

Yes, I'm breaking 

At the scenes just like you 

They have values of a certain taste 

The innocent they can hardly wait 

To crucify invalidating 

Turning to dishonesty 

With western eyes 

And serpent's breath 

They lay their own 

Conscience to rest 

But then they lie 

And then they dare to be 

Hidden heroes candidly 

So I'm aching 

At the view 

Yes, I'm breaking 

At the scenes just like you 

I feel so cold 

On hookers and gin 

This mess we're in
