  • Lyrics
Chorus: -2x
Halley's comet, I said-a Halley's comet
Halley's comet, I said-a Halley's comet
Hay-Halley's comet Hay-Halley's comet
Hay-Halley's comet Hay-Halley's comet

Verse:
How could you know that I lived in a desperate world?
How could you dream that we were all made out of stone?
What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof?
What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?

Bridge:
Knock on my windows, link up the chains
It's gotta be easy, no splinters no pain
It's Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti

Verse:
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
Central part of town, I'm going down
I'm going down to the central part of town

CHORUS:

Verse:

For everything I do to get the story
And everything I do to pull me in
And everything I say to get the title
But when they use it on me I reject it

Verse:
What would you do if you ate my daddy's shoes?
What would you say if it was naturally for you?
How would you feel if it rained on ???
How would you like to have your thick strawberry goo?

Bridge:
I'm sinking down, it's a glorious feeling
To make a big difference, my body is reeling
Even Carl Sagan can't shine my shoes
`Cause I know deep inside he's got some mighty fine blues.

Verse:
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of ...
