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

Cause 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
