Ezra Furman – Halley's Comet lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
