lyrics

A terrible accident that you can handle.
“Didn’t you tell me she asked for it?”
I will be sick of all you will be saying
and here is to all those times that you were sedated.
So what you’ve explained or so it seems,
is that this time is different because we sewed up the seams.
“So what time have you got? I’ve got to go meet my wife around the block.
Let’s finish this charade later on in time.”
He walks down on the street feeling life’s complete.
He smells it in the air, his weathered friend’s despair.
And eventually he will learn this irony,
because when the flood gates open his friends words would have spoken.
This terrible accident I can’t ignore.
You’re not answering as I arrive back at the door.
This troubled man that I’ve kept waiting is gone and now I am conveying.
I picked it up: “Is something wrong?”
She started screaming: “My baby is gone.”
So I look back in regret: I should have stayed and found out why this is what I get.
Instinct disguised as a man. Buy why?
And eventually his lack of irony will leave him drenched and broken.
He stands now on his knees, panting in disbelief.
The stench now in the air leaves things he can’t repair.
And eventually his wife and he start clean…eventually.
