Lyrics Accidents Will Happen - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
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
