Halley’s Comet

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
