accidents of god - birdland with lester bangs lyrics

Loading...

the sideshow freak was plain as day
with his tailgate fins and his shrunken head
he’d found a way to make ’em all pay
see what they thought, if he’d better off dead

still, i thought i saw him slink behind the tent
where tears as big as cantaloupes filled his eyes
i asked him why and what it all meant
and drinkin’ his whisky he quietly cried

“it’s just an accident of god
they’re only accidents of god.”

this alfred douglas archetype
dragged older fellows’ hearts all down the street
with a smile that was obscenely ripened
he made them take his disdain neat

well, i asked one so casually wounded
“how can you let that little sh-t make you crawl?”
he said, “love’s worth whatever ruins it
and, baby, it ain’t his fault at all

“he’s just an accident of god
that boy’s an accident of god.”

we must not speak of pointed hurts
all these things that do not work
no one’s exempt but none own the blame
though the skies may rain down shame

as for you and me, darlin’, well, i guess you know
it’s true what they say, that opposites attract
but when i sit so silently, i’m not stalling
for time; it’s just, i’m hollow, and that’s a fact

villainous clothes do not become us
all we can share is mutual exclusion
gestures of love, they just benumb us
let’s make our peace, and hang confusion

declare an accident of god
our love’s an accident of god
