Testo Haley's Comet - Dave Alvin
Testo della canzone Haley's Comet (Dave Alvin), tratta dall'album The Best of the Hightone Years
"Do you know who I am?" said Bill Haley
In a pancake house near the Rio Grande
Well, the waitress said, "I don't know you from diddley"
"To me you're just another tired old man"
Well, he walked all alone down on Main Street
A hot wind was blowing up from the south
There were two eyes staring in a pawnshop window
And a whiskey bottle was lifted up to his mouth
There was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
As a truck of migrants pulled through town
And the jukebox was busted at the bus depot
When Haley's Comet hit the ground
Well, he blacked out all the windows in his bedroom
And he was talking to the ceilings and the walls
And he closed his eyes and hit the stage in 1955
As the screams of the children filled the hall
There was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
As a truck of migrants pulled through town
And the jukebox was busted at the bus depot
When Haley's Comet hit the ground
Well, this cop walks into a pancake house in Texas
And he ordered up a couple of cups to go
And he tells the waitress, "Hey, I just found the body
Of some guy who was famous long ago"
There was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
As a truck of migrants pulled through town
And the jukebox was busted at the bus depot
When Haley's Comet hit the ground
