It’s called A tail of a comet

I’m on the tail of a cometship, I seen the parade. The bitch that knocks them down. I’m on the wave of emotion, yeah. I could feel it coming and my feet are of the ground

Took me in to your confidence, when you asked me to, I come to your defence. And I will not fail you now, how could I?

Oh Lord when you rise up tail of a comet. All ships I could sail upon, like a promise. I said ‘Hold on when you ride the tail of a comet.’

I sat to a nervous man, when I opened my eyes, he was two in a distant. Here’s a picture of my bald groom grace. I try to ignore it, but the truth was in my face

Turn around and the flash had gone. I saw you before, you tried the headlights on. On the trail, on the trail now…

And I’ve been dazzling for good. Tomas said it would. And I said… Hold on when you ride the tail of a comet

I won’t return those ships, as I could sail up on, like you promised. Hold on when you ride the tail of a comet. Your ships will ride a small, like you promised

And I’ve been dumpling for good. Like emotional words. Sing me no tale, with nothing to say. And the flashing light will be, keep me up all night

That’s when I go… ride now, when you ride a tail of a comet. The tall ships that you sail upon, like you promised (Yeah, promised yeah)

I said… Hold on when you ride the tail of a comet. Hold on when you ride no tail of a comet

Thanks. That’s a new one. We’re tryin’ them out on ya
