David Byrne - The Accident lyrics
[David Byrne - The Accident lyrics]
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 anchormen, 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
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 anchormen, 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
