About this lyric:

Lyrically, the song is about a burglar who breaks into a house only to find it is a haunted prison.[1] The burglar is captured by the ghosts who force him to listen to their stories for the rest of his life - "'Cause you won't get away, no with us you will stay for the rest of your days, let us relive our lives in what we tell you".

Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Stealing thru the dark of night
Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor
Checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
Something doesnt 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, thru 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 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
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 out lives in what we tell you
Let us relive out lives in what we tell you.

Sit down sit down sit down
Cos you wont 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.
