Haley’s Comet Songtext
von Ezra Furman

I′m sick of ordinary life
It's supposed to be extraordinary, right?
I′m just like everybody, waiting for a sign
But now I'm through with waiting round
This world gave me the run around
I'm taking my life underground tonight

Halley′s Comet only comes by once, jump over the moon (Halley′s Comet)
And if you close your eyes, you won't get the chance to see it soon (Halley′s Comet)
Do you care? I care (ah, ah)
Oh, but do you care like I care, like I care? (Ah, ah)


I find it hard to live this life of nouns and adjectives
While all around us planets shift and comets fly right by
You're the same way, I can see
Come on, climb in my car with me
I′ve got this new astronomy
I've got to show someone

Halley′s Comet only comes by once, jump over the moon (Halley's Comet)
If your eyes are closed, you won't get the chance to see it soon (Halley′s Comet)
Are you there? I′m there (ah, ah)
Oh, are you there like I'm there, like I′m there? (Ah, ah, ooh)

You can see it when you ride on your bike (ah, ooh, ooh)
Or hear it on the radio in the middle of the night (ah, ooh, ooh)
I think it's important, you′ll think it's nice (ooh, ooh)
It′s just so right, I know, woo (ah, ah)

Halley's Comet only comes by once, jump over the moon (Halley's Comet)
And if you closed your eyes, you just missed it (Halley′s Comet)
It won′t come back soon
Do you care? I care (ooh, ooh)
Oh, but do you care like I care? (ooh, ooh)
Oh, and are you there, are you there? (Ah, ah)
I know you're there, you gotta be there, ah-ah-ah
