Accidents Lyrics
An old man has a heart attack in the movie theater
While my friend calls an ambulance
Buster Keaton's dancing
I wait for the punchline
But it never comes
Two blind kids in wheelchairs are crossing the street
And they get hit by the ambulance
Because the light was green
And I wait for the punchline
But it never comes
Promised you that I'd be true
And now chandeliers are crashing down to the ground
Waitresses drop their trays
Trains derail with passengers
While mother snakes eat their young
The water pipes in this town
Burst and flood the living room
The firetrucks lose their way home
And crash into the hospitals
We're causing accidents
Me and you
We're causing accidents
Me and you
Where does a promise go
When you pretend it isn't there?
Do we really think that it could just disappear?
While my friend calls an ambulance
Buster Keaton's dancing
I wait for the punchline
But it never comes
And they get hit by the ambulance
Because the light was green
And I wait for the punchline
But it never comes
And now chandeliers are crashing down to the ground
Waitresses drop their trays
Trains derail with passengers
While mother snakes eat their young
The water pipes in this town
Burst and flood the living room
The firetrucks lose their way home
And crash into the hospitals
Me and you
We're causing accidents
Me and you
When you pretend it isn't there?
Do we really think that it could just disappear?

his voice is so amazing in this song
i think its about how life isnt just a big joek
prolly wrong
This song makes me cry.
Like someone else said, it probably about the problems caused by them being together.
this song is about realizing your relationship is self destructive. when you're on the wrong path, you collide with others as oppose to just meeting them. accidents.
promises don't go away. whether their kept or broken like chandeliers.

yea I think it is as well, is it about irony as well? Things that are funny that shouldn't really be? I don't know, but the arcade fire are really good song writers
my fav part in this is the Mothers snakes eat their youngs it is the best i love that line its awesome and yeah i think it is about life no ebin a big joke but also there might be this thing with like we arew causing accidents u and i might be like the mind and it refers to everyone like how thw whole world is slowly destroying itself
this song is sad, i think its about like well obviously accidents, about tragedies and disastors that run the world today, ironic tragedys like fire trucks losing there way home and crashing into hospitals the main thing though, is that there is a couple, and they are together out of love, and they have alot of problems and stuff, but they cant seperate cuz they love eachother too much, and so the accidents happening are now becoming their fault, thats how its conveyed, they really arent casuing these accidents in the world, but... they are causing accidents and he names all the other wretched things in the world because a) they suck and someone should acknowledge that and b) it accentuates the problems these ppl are causing and having because they are together
This was the first Arcade Fire song I heard, and the vocals = YUM.
i'm just curious. does anyone know where either this song or Cars and Telephones is from? were they released as singles or what?
Both songs were recorded as demos that eventually made their way to the internet. They haven't been officially released.
