[Verse 1]
He bought and sold a video
Made a fortune in between
A thousand well-known faces
Passed across that stupid screen

[Verse 2]
He turned them down
He never thought they had much to say
He watched those faces come and go
Up close, he saw the strain

[Chorus]
And he watches it all
Yes, he watches it all
He watches it all
Yes, he watches it all

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
And he watches it all
Still he watches it all
And he watches it all
Yes, he watches it all

[Post-Chorus]
And it's small
It all seems small

[Bridge]
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
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
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

[Outro]
He bought and sold a video
Made a fortune in between
