Arcade on the Pier Songtext
von Choke Up

Found an apartment on the outskirts of the waterfront
I know it wasn′t the one we were dreaming of
In the basement of a home owned by an old woman
It's cold at night but when the wind is right you can hear the ocean


Jenny′s taking classes at the two-year school
I found me a job and put my hands to use
The margin's thin, see, we ain't got much coming in
But it′s hard to put a price on independence

Salt has worn the paint from that stolen Chevrolet
That we left by the pier behind a boarded up arcade
Sometimes I ride out just to see if it′s still there
Our rusted shepherd in disrepair
