Staring at the Accident

[Intro]
(Whistling)

[Verse 1]
Why have they come to a standstill?
The people gather 'round in a big queue
Why do the dinosaurs just pile up?
These monsters like trains all around you?

They stare on in gruesome fascination
Pushing 'round to see the lacerations

[Verse 2]
They start just as a person is falling
Barely in control of their actions
Suddenly in the heat of the moment
An accident starting to happen

Here they stay and a-ged[?] is the done thing
Beings swept away in search of more

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like you're hovering above it all
The big[?] crowd, they seem so small

[Chorus]
You've been staring at the accident
Staring at the accident
Slowing down to get a better view
You've been staring at the accident
Crane your neck; shake your head
Wondering if the poor man pulls through
Unaware the accident is you

[Interlude]
(Whistling)

[Verse 3]
It seems another person is brought down
Cheered on by the crowd who've learned nothing
People carry on just like normal
Watching as the predators close in

Always being pulled apart by wild beasts
Glad they're not the ones on which they feast

[Pre-Chorus]
You will constantly relive it all
You scale the heights, and then you fall
(Then you fall)
(Then you fall)
(Then you fall)
(Then you fall)
(Then you fall)

[Chorus]
You've been staring at the accident
Staring at the accident
Slowing down to get a better view
You've been staring at the accident
Shake your head; crane your neck
Wondering if the poor man pulls through
Unaware the accident is you
