Accidents
An old man has a heart attack in the movie theaterWhile my friend calls an ambulanceBuster Keaton's dancingI wait for the punchlineBut it never comes
Two blind kids in wheelchairs are crossing the streetAnd they get hit by the ambulanceBecause the light was greenAnd I wait for the punchlineBut it never comes
Promised you that I'd be trueAnd now chandeliers are crashing down to the groundWaitresses drop their traysTrains derail with passengersWhile mother snakes eat their youngThe water pipes in this townBurst and flood the living roomThe firetrucks lose their way homeAnd crash into the hospitals
We're causing accidentsMe and youWe're causing accidentsMe and you
Where does a promise goWhen you pretend it isn't there?Do we really think that it could just disappear?
