DAVID BYRNE lyrics : "The Accident"

When you see an accident do not turn your head and look away
I can see detectives are sifting through the wreckage we have made


It starts with only one kiss
It changes everything


TV crews arrive on the scene
They say "See the man who lost everything"
He lies shattered like a glass on the ground

They say "Only you can bring him around
And set me free"


I became delirious
Palm trees gently swaying in the breeze
On a desert island, I haven't seen a human being for years


The house where we used to live
Described by witnesses

TV crews arrive on the scene
And the anchorman they break down and weep
Living proof that things are not what they seem

It takes all these wild and wonderful things -
To set me free
