All the dreams you're having You stole them all from me I was having dreams like that Back in 1973 Groovy Boo is banging the ivories In his ancient overcoat Stuffing all his rage and anger Down that old piano's throat Accidents will happen That's what accidents are for Accidents will happen And an accident is just an accident I walk through the swinging door See my old girl Mabel Her jawbone hits the floor And her eyeballs roll around the table In a clever act of misdirection I manage with some finesse To scale the ladders in her stockings And creep into her dress Accidents will happen We've all had 'em many times before And coincidences are just accidents Nothing less and nothing more I come around when she expects it the least She always looks so strange and tragic She comes on like some juju priest Laying down her own brand of magic She tells me that she'll be true She ain't the type to keep her promises I used to be down with the faithful man Now I'm hanging with the doubting Thomases 'Cause accidents keep happening This old world was born from one There are servants they don't govern And I don't put too much faith in them Well, let me tell you a little more about Mabel She is shaped like an inverted duck pond chair I roll out my tongue when she walks past Fix her with my famous jelly-eyed stare Her husband is a Cro-magnon man with a magnum He recites the second amendment, Jim Well, accidents will happen I'm hoping one might happen to him We're accidents waiting to happen You know they'll be happening for all time While you're having yours I'll be having mine Maybe you and I will get it together You and I, we will get in together You and I, we will get it together You and I, we will get it together Oh, come on, man

I don't wanna hurt you 'cause I don't think it's a virtue But you and I have come to our end Believe me when I tell you that I never wanna see you again And please can you stop calling?, 'cause it's getting really boring And I've told you I don't wanna be friends Believe me when I tell you that I never wanna see you again How on earth could I be any more obvious? (obvious) It never really did and now it's never going to happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after (chasing after) But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder I can see how it's confusing, it could be considered using When I call you up straight out of the blue But I don't understand what else a girl in my position's to do Now I know you feel betrayed, but it's been weeks since I got laid This doesn't mean that I don't think you're a fool But I don't understand what else a girl in my position's to do How on earth could I be any more obvious? (obvious) It never really did and now it's never going to happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after (chasing after) But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder I know it's rather ugly 'cause I know that you still love me And this isn't any kind of excuse But I don't love you, I don't love you How on earth could I be any more obvious? (obvious) It never really did and now it's never going to happen with the two of us I don't understand what it is that you're chasing after (chasing after) But it makes me really sad to hear you sound so desperate It just makes it harder

I'm not sure what's worse The waiting or the waiting room "You're next, sir", becomes a cruel taunt to you Recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant Your god is a two-door elevator! Do they even cure you (cut me open, drug me) Or is it just to humor us before we die? (Repair all my defects) If only we could heal ourselves We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines Whoa, whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! Let's redefine! What it means to heal Do they even cure you (cut me open, drug me) Or is it just to humor us before we die? (Repair all my defects) If only we could heal ourselves We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines Whoa, whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa

You say, "Hold me like you want me Like there's still things to give up And kiss me like you need me And pretend like it's enough" You've been telling me all your secrets Hoping I'd be the one who keep 'em 'Cause you thought that'll always be around (I let you down) I've been chasing on every feeling Hoping I'd feel the way you're feeling Thinking I would've found them all by now I let you down, I let you down, I'm that mistake Make you afraid to trust someone Sometimes I wish I could go back, and Make us never happen, save us from it all If I could, I would never let you down Make us never happen If I could, I would never let you down Sometimes I wish I could go back, and Make us never happen, save us from it all If I could, I would never let you down You told me in a letter You can love me better than before Like you live for me I would never let you lose yourself to prove me wrong You've been telling me all your secrets Hoping I'd be the one who keep 'em 'Cause you thought that'll always be around (I let you down) I've been chasing on every feeling Hoping I'd feel the way you're feeling Thinking I would've found them all by now I let you down, I let you down, I'm that mistake Make you afraid to trust someone Sometimes I wish I could go back, and Make us never happen, save us from it all If I could, I would never let you down Make us never happen If I could, I would never let you down Sometimes I wish I could go back, and Make us never happen, save us from it all If I could, I would never let you down
