Stakeout

I own a house at the end of the world, yeah
And it's got a verandah that looks onto the sea
There's no roads, no telephones
No answering machines, yeah
Just a cliff and some rocks
And a cold southern sea

But if you don't come
You'll never see
The view from where I'm sitting
Will you always keep me waiting
Beside this southern sea

There's a stakeout
My house, my town
Yeah, I'm still breathing
When you're sick of my house, my town
Yeah, I'm still breathing slow
But my life must mean something
So I'll try to do it right

I still own the house but it's corroding away
It has no roof or no toilet, oh what a shame
You want to see a sunrise?
It's not hard 'cause there's holes in the wall
And the cold is relentless
Another reason to want to go
But the Sun and the moon and everything
Outside my house, inside my head
Is telling me to hold on

'Cause you won't come
No, you'll never see
The view from where I'm sitting, no
Will you always keep me waiting
Beside this cold sea

I'm breathing slow
