Sitting here on my golden chair
Watching all the world passing over there
Rain pattering on my window pane
Newspaper ink on my fingers stain
Blowing smoke through a half-dead lung
Chewing food on my ulcered gum
I watch people pass as they stare right in
My living room is a room full of sin
A world of wonder
It's happening outside
A world of plunder
It's happening allright
A world of horror
It's scaring me outright
A world of retail goods
It's scaring me allright
I'm the watchman
Watching over you
The postman drops his junk through my door
The milkman leaves his cream on the floor
And all the time I am watching them
As I sit at my golden helm
Buses, cars and big lorries
Shake my windows as they speed
Leaving clouds of visible death
Waiting to steal a dying breath
I feel like everyone is watching me
Children stop and stare right in
Their angry mothers full of scolding
Telling them not to be nosy
Whilst sneaking sly glances at me
Through the years and through seasons
Sitting here trying to make sense
Of all what goes on outside
It's my only place to hide
