ELVIS COSTELLO - Accidents Will Happen lyrics

rate me

Oh I just don't know where to begin<br>Though he says he'll wait forever<br>It's now or never<br>But she keeps him hanging on<br>The silly champion<br>She says she can't go home<br>Without a chaperone<br><br>Accidents will happen<br>We only hit and run<br>He used to be your victim<br>Now you're not the only one<br><br>Accidents will happen<br>We only hit and run<br>I don't want to hear it<br>'cause I know what I've done<br><br>There's so many fish in the sea<br>That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury<br>But they keep you hanging on<br>They say you're so young<br>Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>And it's the damage that we do<br>And never know<br>It's the words that we don't say<br>That scare me so<br><br>There's so many people to see<br>So many people you can check up on<br>And add to your collection<br>But they keep you hanging on<br>Until you're well hung<br>Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>I know, I know, (repeat)
