Halley’s Comet

Lyrics

I watched Halley's Comet go by From a backyard in Indooroopilly It was cold, it was autumn '86 We drunk the rest of your gin
You could have done anything But don't play "Forever Now" The meteor shower caught us all by surprise After talk about Halley's comet, Kraus dreams that she and Benson are the only ones left on earth And how'd we get to here and how are we going home? Well I don't know I don't know Walking past the deserted agency I stopped the cab and tried to see What was that place you lived before? How'd you get all those bruises? I don't care what your excuse is I feel like you've intrigued me for centuries I love you just the way you are Just let those comets go by They shouldn't mess with you There's just one thing I would like to say to you Oh please don't play "Forever Now" The meteor shower caught me right between the eyes And how'd we get to here and how are we going home? Well I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
