Accidents Will Happen (Live) Songtext / Lyric

Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen



Oh, I just don't know where to begin

Love doesn't wait forever

It's now or never

But she keeps 'em hangin' on

You said you're so alone

She says she can't go home without a chaperon



Accidents will happen

They only hit and run

You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

Accidents will happen

They 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 on the sweat and smoke of mercury

But they keep you hangin' on

they say you're so young

Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone






Accidents will happen

They only hit and run

You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

Accidents will happen

They only hit and run

I don't want to hear it cause I know what I've done



it's the damage that we do we 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 to hangin' on and add to your collection

But they keep you hangin' on

until you well hung

Your mouth is make up but your mind is undone



Accidents will happen

They're only hit and run

You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

Accidents will happen

They only hit and run

I don't want to hear it cause I know what it

I know what it

I know what it done

I know
