lyrics

East Hastings

Come over to my window
come to where I knock
I got a lot on my mind
but I got barely time to talk
I gotta tell you a story I heard
on the six o'clock news
A story about some guy I know
who was once in your shoes

Here's a song about East Hastings
the very place he used to prowl
all around East Hastings
just like you
he did it all.

He'd meet up with the pawn shop clerk
and say "what's hot today?"
pawn his stolen merchandise
for enough to relieve him for days
then he'd put his phone voice on
call his regular man
he'd tell me "the deal is on
here's the secret plan"

I'll meet you in East Hastings
when no one else is around
i'll meet you in East Hastings
when the sun is coming down
and where death is a common sound
and I may never see you again.

It's been about 3 hours
since remains anonymous died
I can't pretend to laugh
but I sure can pretend to cry
I'm coming to tell you
I ain't in business anymore
and I pray that your neck number
owns a face that finds the door.

I'll see you in East Hastings
sneaking something around
I'll see you in East Hastings
when the sun is coming down
and where death is a common sound
and I may never see you again.
