Rilo Kiley - Accidntel Deth Lyrics
you're obsessed with finding a new brainbut what you need is a new bodyit feels your brain has lived a thousand lives beforeand the skin you call your homeholds a heart that quits and knees that buckle inand lungs that can't breathe when they're aloneand the days come to you like sailorsyou watch them as they drift awaythey meet the sunrise out at the horizonand it's neither sink nor swimat least the water's beneath your chin.there's blood spilled on the flooreveryone's staring at you, what for?until you realize the blood is probably yoursyou feel you've lost something, you want it backyou lie emotionless on your backand your legs aren't taking anymore requeststhose disobedient wreckshow you cared for them as they carried youfrom class to class and coast to coastwhen you owned land and when you were brokethrough recessions and addictionsit's just your accidental deathyour accidental deathit's just your accidental deathyou're the indian in the cougar's nest.your fright gives way to memoryhave them cough you with your loveor the story your father told you long agohe was hunting with his own fatherfor deer he pointed and spotted herand then tripped over some roots or some dead treesthe gun went off, it was a mistakeand my father was only eightand as he watched the dying deer,he was changed.'cause he felt sorry for what he'd doneand he put down his gunwill you feel sorry for what you've done?will you put down your gun?cause there's no accidental deathwhen you're the indian in the cougar's nest
