Western Pier

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
rolled up
put the cuffs on
then they drove me
deep down to the valley
just judge
looked me over
said i'm sorry
you don't have to keep running
you'd best be leaving
you can't take away all the parts of you
make you do the things you do
the girls that live inside my heart
keep coming up the boulevard
rolled up
they pledged their loving
then they drive you
halfway to a breakdown
just judge
looked me over
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 for our avarice and lust

and i don't even know what's east of here
i came up on the western pier
