Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen Lyrics




Oh I just dont know where to begin
Though he says hell wait forever
Its now or never
But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she cant go home
Without a chaperone

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now youre not the only one

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I dont want to hear it
cause I know what Ive done

Theres so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on
They say youre so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

(chorus)

And its the damage that we do
And never know
Its the words that we dont say
That scare me so

Theres so many people to see
So many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until youre well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

(chorus)

I know, I know, (repeat)
