Lyrics Tail of a Comet - Martin Briley

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 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 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 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
