I have a neighbor across the street, for this song, I’ll call him Joe
Lately he’s been peeking out his living room window
Watching when I come and go
My wife’s eyes go wide when I mention his name
It’s making me suspicious
He’s not a suspect at this time but
He’s a person of interest, a person of interest

Joe’s wife, let’s call her Jane, likes to party when the sun goes down
She hangs around at Sonny’s Hideaway
With a guy from the bad side of town
Joe might have a motive to mess around in other people’s business
He’s not a suspect at this time but
He’s a person of interest, person of interest

My home is my sacred sanctuary
My refuge from the coldness of the world
When you threaten my home, you threaten my way of life
And that I can neither tolerate nor forgive

I always try to be a good neighbor, I keep my house in good repair
I’ll loan you my tools, I’ll feed your cat
If you’re stuck, I’ll drive you anywhere
But if something’s going on in my home
I’ll search ‘til I find a witness
My investigation is underway, focused on one person of interest
One person of interest

Now you better watch out, cause I’m watching you
I got my eyes on you, man, you’re a person of interest
I think you better watch what you do to me
I think you better watch what you do to me
You can’t run, Lord you can’t hide
You’re a person of interest, got my eyes on you, man
