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 does´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 
As we relive our lives in what we tell you 

Images of sorrow, pictures of delight 
Things that go to make up a life 
Endless days of summer longer nights of gloom 
Waiting for the morning light 
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame 
Things that go to make up a life 

Help us someone, let us out of here 
Cause 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 
As we relive out lives in what we tell you 
Let us relive out lives in what we tell you 

Sit down, sit down 
Cause 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
