He Watches It All

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
