He bought and sold a video
   Made a fortunein 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
