Once in a hundred years
The century star appears
And legends are told how it brightens the sky
With head of fire and tail of ice
It last came before recall
When our grandfathers learned to crawl
But tonight is the night it should once again pass
So gather around, lie on the grass
Comet come and comet go
Comet give us life you know
Tilt your head up to the sky
See the century star go by
We've been here for hours now
And restlessness runs through the crowd
And still is the starlight that's taunted since dusk
There's been not a hint of motion above
Did it forsake our rock?
Did it just miss a stop?
Did it take a wrong turn at Ganymede Moon?
Wherever it is, it better show soon
Comet come and comet go
Comet give us life you know
Tilt your head up to the sky
See the century star go by
And if the century star don't come
Mama's found a brand new sun
Giving life to planets new
Where future generations view
