[Verse 1]
This meeting is a coincidence
Which deserves a second look:
We've seen the chapter of accidents
Become the longest in the book
I see your face in the picture for better or worse
All power to the accident!

[Verse 2]
Oh, the sweetest is the one I'm holding in my arms
And the fleetest is the one who survives
But the meetest is the one who's running on the spot
Where the accident's about to arrive
I know my place on the planet, chapter and verse
All part of the accident

[Verse 3]
I know my place in the story, a line of blank verse
A part of the accident

[Bridge]
No system worth its salt
Lays all its cards upon the table;
No discipline of thought
Will render me more able
To buck those random throws
[Verse 1/4]
This meeting is a coincidence (The accident!)
Which deserves a second look – (The accident!)
We've seen the chapter of accidents (The accident!)
It's the longest in the book (The accident!)
Oh, the sweetest is the one I'm holding in my arms (The accident!)
And the fleetest is the one who survives (The accident!)
But the meetest is the one who's running on the spot (The accidental)
Where the accident's about to arrive... (The accident!)
(Ooh, ooh, the accident!)
(Ooh, ooh, the accident!)
(Ooh, ooh, the accident!)

[Verse 5]
Your face in the picture for better or worse
All power to the accident!
I know my place on the planet, chapter and verse
All part of the accident
I know my place in the story, a line of blank verse
A part of the accident
I see your face in the picture for better or worse
All power to the accident
All power to the accident!
