Second Halley

First they ask me how it feels to be alone

More or less imply that I save my breath

And hang up the phone

I'm beyond cheap sex and sorrows

Carefully planned tomorrows



I've seen so many

Changes get up and leave

And I've seen too many

Bastards get away too damn easy



Nervous shadow in a narrow hallway

Rehearse what's hard to explain

Why an issue of birds and bees

Becomes jaded and dying tissue

I want the comet to come

I want someone to put out the sun



I've seen so many

Changes get up and leave

And I've seen too many

Bastards get away too damn easy

My world's been made

But I can't have it saved

Call it justice or malpractice

A plague within a plague



I've seen so many

Changes get up and leave

And I've seen too many

Bastards get away too damn easy

I've met too many

With some birthgiven right to lecture me

What to be and where to go

And where the hell on earth I belong
