Traffic Accident Lyrics - Sleeper

Our hero's fallen down again, it's not a big surprise 

Two weeks wages on a suit, a crappy pair of shoes 

He's only handsome in the right light 

Now what are we going to do? 

You never really knew 

No one knows where Connie goes 

She's wearing shiny clothes 

Paper wraps and skinny guys and all her neighbors 

Eyes say running riot, our hero knows the papers 

Just need their news they never really knew 

But they decided where you're going to 

We're ready for you 

Don't write, don't call me 

Unless you're lying in a traffic accident 

Don't write, don't call me 

Unless you're dying in a traffic accident 

Traffic accident, traffic accident 

And somewhere in a Whitehall room 

Who's popping prostitutes, full of scotch and falling off 

And that persistent cough a cozy number 

But all those goons, they're only afraid of truth 

They never really knew that in the end 

It would desert them too 

We're ready for you 

Don't write, don't call me 

Unless you're lying in a traffic accident 

Don't write, don't call me 

Unless you're dying in a traffic accident 

Traffic accident 

Are we violent? 

Are we stupid? 

Are we vacant? 

Are we useless? 

Hello work life 

Farewell park life 

Have you come for me? 

Don't write, don't call me 

Or are we givin' ourselves away? 

Woke up this morning 

And am I givin' myself away? 

They owe you something 

Unless they're lying 

In a traffic accident 

Traffic accident, a traffic accident
