The self-titled debut album was finally released in 1987, and, by that time, Richie Scarlet had been replaced by Tod Howarth. Spawing the top 30 rock hit "Into The Night", that successful album was followed by the live EP 'Live +1' and later by the full length studio album 'Second Sighting' in 1988. Anton Fig had a full-time gig with the Late Night with David Letterman studio band, and he had been replaced by Jamie Oldaker on drums.
In 1989, the album 'Trouble Walkin'' was released. This album was released as a solo album by Ace Frehley because of the change to a rougher sound and music style. Still. the band behind the release was the original line-up of Frehley's Comet. At any rate, Frehley's Comet as a band was no more.

Frehley's Comet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a waitin' for a place to occur
But I still got enough that'll last her
Till the blood gets ready to burn
My meter's running, still got a lot of livin' to do
I live five days to your one
And you know it's true, yeah!
[Chorus]
(Listen!) I got money, got fame
Got everything ot play this game
No sorrow, no shame
'cause nothin' matters when you're insane!
It's never easy being the crazy
Just a job someone's got to do
Take a number and stand in the line
For the good life you never knew
My meter's running, still got a lot of livin' to do
I live five days to your one
And you know it's true, yeah!
[Chorus]
