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 gla** on the ground They say "Only you can bring him around & 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 & 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
