Halley's Comet - Ezra Furman

I am 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

And if you close your eyes

You won’t get the chance to see it soon

Do you care?

I care

Oh, but do you care like I care, like I care?

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

If your eyes are closed

You won’t get the chance to see it soon

Are you there?

I’m there

Oh are you there like I’m there, like I’m there?

You can see it when you ride on your bike

Or hear it on the radio in the middle of the night

I think it’s important

You’ll think it’s nice

It’s just so right, I know, wooh

Halley’s comet only comes by once

Jump over the moon

And if you closed your eyes

You just missed it

It won’t come back soon

Do you care?

I care

Oh, but do you care like I care?

Oh and are you there, are you there?

I know you’re there

You gotta be there
