Tail of a Comet Lyrics

Yeah, you had to walk on the wild side

Dancing where the lions sleep

Then you dove right in, so you had to swim

Out where the water's cold and deep

He's gonna chew you up

He's gonna spit you out

No there ain't no doubt

Baby you'll find out the hard way

'Cause you can't hold on to the tail of a comet

Not unless you wanna get burned

There's a heartache coming and your name's on it

Better run and hide

Yeah 'cause nobody rides the tail of a comet

Yeah, I know about the kinda game he plays

Yeah, I seen him suck you in

But baby we both know that I told you so

When you started messin' 'round with him

He's gonna chew you up

He's gonna spit you out

He's gonna lead you on

But he'll be long gone tomorrow

'Cause you can't hold on to the tail of a comet

Not unless you wanna get burned

There's a heartache coming and your name's on it

Better run and hide

Yeah 'cause nobody rides the tail of a comet

He's a smooth operator, got you all mixed up

You're an easy target, you're a sitting duck

There's a better man, but baby you can't see

You fell for him but it could've been me

You can't hold on to the tail of a comet

Not unless you wanna get burned

There's a heartache coming and your name's on it

Better run and hide
