Accident, Waiting to Happen

Demo for FAWM ’25. Lyrics by @johnkaniecki @ Spazsquatch

[Verse]
Lovely lady in a black negligee
Down on your knees, that’s how we pray
Sadly sobbing without any tears
Realizing truth is the worst you can fear.

[Verse]
She led me by the hand like a stray dog
Her penthouse, was merely grey fog.
She offered wine, for a moment I passed,
But could’t miss the call to live life fast.

[Chorus]
There are only volunteers for this mission
it’s an accident, waiting to happen
Blind leading the blind’s ambition
Toward an accident…

[Verse]
The rush was over, temptation was quelled
The promised heaven, burned like hell
An angel from a magazine page
Had me pouncing like a wildcat out of it’s cage.

[Chorus]
There are only volunteers for this mission
it’s an accident, waiting to happen
Blind leading the blind’s ambition
Toward an accident…

[Break]

[Bridge]
Caught in that sleepy place where two worlds merge
She had the right looks I had the urge
The fantasy that I know I must own.
Drags me down, and has me feeling old.

[Outro]
Only volunteers for this mission
An accident waiting to happen
Blind leading the blind’s ambition
An accident waiting to happen
There’s no way to undo the hurt
An accident waiting to happen
Once you set-off you can never return
An accident…
