Accidents Lyrics by Arcade Fire

2001 Demos

0

An old man has a heart attack in the movie theater
While my friend calls an ambulance
Buster Keaton's dancing
I wait for the punchline
But it never comes

Two blind kids in wheelchairs are crossing a street
And they get hit by the ambulance
Because the light was green
And I wait for the punchline
But it never comes

[Bridge]
I promised you that I'd be true
And now chandeliers are crashing down to the ground
Waitresses drop their trays
Trains derail with passengers
While mother snakes eat their young
The water pipes in this town
Burst and flood the living room
The firetrucks lose their way home
And crash into the hospitals

[Verse 3]
We're causing accidents, me and you
We're causing accidents, me and you
Where does a promise go when you pretend it isn't there?
Do we really think that it could just disappear?

[Outro]
Does
