Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Accidents Will Happen lyrics

Oh, I just don't know where to begin Though he says he'll wait forever It's now or never But she keeps 'em hangin' on The silly champion She says she can't go home without a chaperone 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 And 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 you can check up on and add to your collection But they keep you hangin' on until you're 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 I I know what I I know what I've done I know (x4)
