ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "Accidents Will Happen"

Oh I just don't know where to begin
Though he says he'll wait forever
It's now or never

But she keeps him hanging on
The silly champion
She says she can't go home

Without a chaperone

[Chorus:]

Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim

Now you're not the only one

Accidents will happen

We only hit and run
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know what I've done


There's 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 you're so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone


[Chorus]


And it's the damage that we do
And never know
It's the words that we don't say

That scare me so

There's 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 you're well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone


[Chorus]

I know, I know, [Repeat]
