Home by the sea   Home by the sea   Home by the sea   Home by the sea      Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall   Stealing through the dark of night   Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor   Checking to the left and the right   Picking up the pieces, putting them away   Something doesn't feel quite right      Help me someone, let me out of here   Then out of the dark was suddenly heard   Welcome to the home by the sea      Coming out the woodwork through the open door   Pushing from above and below   Shadows but no substance in the shape of men   Round and down and sideways they go   Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair   Then as one they sign and they moan      Help us someone, let us out of here   Living here so long undisturbed   Dreaming of the time we were free   So many years ago   Before the time when we first heard   Welcome to the home by the sea      Sit down, sit down   Sit down, sit down, sit down   As we relive our lives in what we tell you      Images of sorrow, pictures of delight   Things those go to make up a life   Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom   Waiting for the morning life   Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame   Things those go to make up a life      Help us someone, let us out of here   'Cos living here so long undisturbed   Dreaming of the time we were free   So many years ago   Before the time when we first heard   Welcome to the home by the sea      Sit down, sit down   Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down   As we relive our lives in what we tell you   Let us relive our lives in what we tell you      Sit down, sit down, sit down   'Cos you won't get away   No with us you will stay   For the rest of your days, sit down   As we relive our lives in what we tell you   Let us relive our lives in what we tell you, oh
