Comet and the Snail Lyrics

It's slick
My shoe against the walk
My hair against the comb
My word against the ear
My dream against my fear
The oil is barreling down through the drum

It's nice
A well fixtured machine
Chews paper by the ream
A record output salt
I'm gonna break them all
I'm revving and I'm hissing like a snail

And I'm hot on history's tail
The wait is over
The wait is over
The wait is over

What gall
What ball-breaking approach
They'll take your hat and broach
I take your hand and shake
I spit against your sake
The ladies gasp, I'm slicker all the more

Don't stare
And don't speak out of turn
The room is mine you'll learn
Down to your fancy shoes
I read that handbook too
I'm feasting on your clavicles and cuffs

Ain't that housewarming enough
You're tasting older
You're tasting older
You're tasting older

Man, you're slower than you look
Just think of all the geese you've cooked
You're getting older
You're getting older
You're getting older

So slick
The narrow sparkly trail
The comet and the snail
You like to watch them both
Don't lecture me about growth
That's no star in that shell

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
