Comet Song

The city shines
 A silver street lamp
 Glistens in the snow
 Shiver as I'm walking by
 Just knowing what I know
 I guess this wild wanderlust
 Just got out of control
 Wish I could apologize
 And come in from the cold
 "Where are you going?"
 Or, "Where have you been?"
 Questions that you'll never ask again
 I heard the words, I took my turn
 Another eulogy
 Not sure I can hang if this is
 How it's gonna be
 We reminisce on innocence
 Then plunge into the sea
 The Super 8 keeps flickering
 With choppy memories
 Spent decades in search of
 What meant so much to you
 Then sold the whole collection
 Because the rent was due
 ♪
 You clenched your fist and threw the dish
 And called me Peter Pan
 Your aim's not very accurate
 And I thank God for that
 Although I told you many times
 I'm not much of a man
 You held out hope believing that
 At least I might pretend
 Vacuumed up all of the fairy dust
 Held Savasana on the floor
 Just felt like dying
 When you thought of us
 You clapped your hands and hoped for an encore
 So young and sunburnt
 We walked on an empty beach
 The surface was so shiny
 With nothing underneath
 ♪
 There's tulips in the wheelbarrow
 There's cherries in the tree
 There's a comet in the sky at least
 One night a century
 And I will always wait for you
 If you will wait for me
 Like a baby or apocalypse
 That we will never see
 Little infant in a plastic box
 Shedding incubator tears
 She doesn't know yet
 What a comet does
 You're approaching
 Even as you
 Disappear
 ♪
 We used to have these, like, bands
 There were thousands of them
 Maybe you're alone
 Maybe you're not
 Doesn't really matter
 Consider the source
 Sorry baby, I was dreaming of you
 You were in my dreams
 Do you love me? (I need you)
 Yes, I love you
 How much you love me, like?
 I don't wanna talk about that
 I think I will turn the microphone off
