He bought and sold a video |
|
Made a fortune in between |
|
A thousand well-known faces |
|
Passed across that stupid screen |
|
He turned them down |
|
He never thought they had so much to say |
|
He watched those faces come and go |
|
Up close |
|
He saw the strain |
|
And he watches it all |
|
Yes he watches it all |
|
Someone broke into his house last night |
|
It's strange they didn't take a thing |
|
Someone broke into his house last night |
|
But still it feels like they took everything |
|
Home is where the head is |
|
Home is where the demons all come out to play |
|
Home is where you hide yourself at night |
|
And home is where you feel safe |
|
And still he watches it all |
|
He watches it all |
|
And it's small |
|
It all seems small |
|
Did you read it in the Sunday paper? |
|
The headline called him the 'Sailors Deacon' |
|
He fell in love with the lighthouse keeper |
|
Spends his time bringing home the beacon |
|
Huh |
|
He bought and sold a video |
|
Made a fortune in between |
