The Accident Lyrics - David Byrne

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 

& 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
